it's that time again...
just went to download recent purchases and it's forcing me to upgrade Kindle for PC version, which means more reading around on how to break the d r m. only out £1.99 of this doesn't work but it's annoying.

Crosspost with backward steps I guess but it’s bananas that you can find the kindle edition of a book in the Amazon app & it says “This app does not support purchasing. Books purchased through Amazon are available in the kindle app.” & the kindle app itself has the same message. My gut response is always fuck you then, if I’m doing any extra steps it’ll be to get it on l1bg3n

I was happy to find that Zlibrary is still going, though I had to install Tor to access it. Probably the closest I've ever got to using "dark web"!

Wins I think it’s because Amazon doesn’t want Apple to take a cut of every book purchase, so you have to use the Amazon website to buy ebooks.

Confirming my gut response tbh, if the two omnipresent dystopian tech giants can’t come to slight compromise in the name of usability fuck em

it's the payments thing, but also that apple has their own competing book store
