Just looking for some Help and advice<3
So i have never owned an E-reader before. I used to use Amazon Kindle App on my phone(how i used to read books on a 3.5-4 inch device, i have no clue lol)
Here is my experience with Kindle, good and bad.
1. Amazon has been amazing in replacing things I broke.
I bought my first kindle[a] from Staples Business Depot in Moncton
It had a bad pixel so I returned it and received a new Kindle[b] that day.
That one broke 11 months later (my fault, broken screen)
Amazon replaced it again with a new kindle[c], again all free.
Many months later I broke this by dropping it in water.
Amazon replaced it again with a new kindle[d], again all free.
Last week I broke this one when it fell from my pocket in the rain.
I have bought another Kindle to replace it. If Amazon keeps up such good customer service they will keep me as a loyal customer.
2. I hate DRM
Amazon loves DRM
I use the Calibre ebook library program and the DRM removal module so I can remove DRM automatically from every book I own. By using Calibre to manage my library I feel I am not going to be annoyed by DRM in the future for books I have paid for.
3. I have tried to download books from Amazon (waiting for my new Kindle to be delivered). They (for reasons of DRM) want to know what device I plan to send the book to via USB. What this means is I can't buy or download from Amazon until the new Kindle arrives.
4. The kindle is light, rugged and user friendly.
My library is close to 80,000 books and Calibre helps me manage it.
My print library which I have mostly given away was under 10,000 books.
These all reflect my love for the kindle.
