I agree, but I also sort of think that’s fair enough. The fact that most people “buying” ebooks don’t understand what their transaction implies suggests a major market failing.
With Amazons pending change to not allow ebook downloads, I downloaded all mine. I then tried to convert them to epub format and a little over half converted. I only have 80 though, I can’t imagine doing that for 700.
I saw someone on YouTube pissed that they bought 700 ebooks from Amazon and now that they enforce a harder DRM he can’t read them anymore.
Bruh, you voted with your wallet to get DRM in your ebooks. You can’t complain if one day they change the encryption
I fully believe that if you paid for something, it gives you the right to go pirate another copy.
The vast majority of the public hsve no idea what you just said.
Their brain goes “I like book. I buy book! No more book? But I buy book!”

I think we have to thank people like this for demonstrating that losing your collection isn’t just a theoretical risk.
