I think that Amazon are not about to brick my Kindle, but I am worried about it.
If they were to brick it then I am loathe to give Bezos more of my money, though I am somewhat locked into the Kindle system with several hundred books purchased over the years.
Any recommendations for a replacement reader. I've read about kindle sized eInk android tablets which can run the various apps, ie Kindle, Kobo, bookshop.org. That would be cool.
If running such a thing though, how would Calibre interact with it? I am in the habit of downloading purchases to my Kindle, adding them to the Calibre library and in the process stripping the DRM, and then backing up to a cloud provider. I'd like to be able to do that. Likewise, I'm using Calibre to transfer library books (which always say can't be read on a Kindle) onto my device for the actual reading. I'd like to still be able to do that.
Not bothered by audiobooks. I have different devices for that.
