And why the fuck do I need to manage my ebooks on 3 separate devices, and using 2 different apps on my computer?

Fuck Kindle. I should have at least went with Kobo.

Fuck this unhinged consumerism bullshit in general. I just wanna steal my books and read them at my leisure, but have to find shit ass work arounds for DRM for fucking words. DRM FOR WORDS!!!

Burn this whole fucking piece of shit to the ground. Death to Amerikkka.

Sidenote but if you are having DRM issues with epubs and kindle, literally just convert to mobi, then back to epub and it works. It also shrinks the file. Last one I did went from 3.5MB down to 500 KB. Spend all that time, money, and resources on DRM and it can get stripped by changing the file type in Calibre.

Death to copywrite. Information should be free.
