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.

You have a Kindle? My condolences comrade, blows me away that people pay for devices that are meany to have ADS on them. The DRM scheme is atrocious. I bought a Kobo Glo for $20 at a thrift store kel-bliss

It's it's the stupidest reason too.

I used yee ole sunk cost falacy because I already had a couple dozen books from Amazon in my kindle account.

And then learned about Library Genesis. Which I use for everything I want to read. Like Kobo was built for this. And it costs the same as a Kindle for a slightly larger screen. ๐Ÿ’€๐Ÿ’€
