Wow, they decide to kill off downloading books over USB and karma immediately strikes back lol
Huh, TIL, my gf has a relatively old Kindle, are all the models affected?
She uses Calibre to get her books.
Poor wording on my part, they’re removing the ability to download books directly from Amazon to your computer. You can still transfer books via USB using Calibre.
Hers’s an article from The Verge with more info. My apologies.
Ok I get it now, putting more restrictions even when “piracy” makes life easier for the users huh? That is a move.
@kratoz29 @LiveLM it’s the opposite of a competitive market making life easier and more convenient for customers: a race to the bottom, a struggle to create maximum difficulty and hassle at ever-increasing prices.
if the public wants public culture, the public must be prepared to invest in public culture, and that likely implies some form of collective action such as (progressive) taxes or levies. but conversely, the outcomes of that investment must then also be truly public culture with no hassle or punitive action.
She should be fine, but yes on newer kindles like the Scribe (came out in 2022 so not exactly brand-new now) they removed the “mass storage mode” (= what made kindles show up on a pc as a usb drive).
Calibre can work with the newer MTP mode (which is similar to what android phones have) but it’s a lot less reliable and requires that no other app, including the OS, file manager, is accessing the device at the same time. It’s frustrating and I’m very happy to have jailbroken it, now I can use SFTP to browse the folders much more speedily.
