This is wrong on so many levels...
  1. What about the people who buy exclusively from amazon and never touch calibre, but share accounts with their spouse?
  2. What about the people who DON'T share, but read many books and switch them out of say, a TBR list, and DON'T always have WiFi enabled TO SAVE THE BATTERY!!!!!
  3. What about the people who buy from Amazon and then edit those same books to remove fonts/stupid review pages/stupid typos?

They all suffer as well!

And number three is probably at least as common as people who buy from nook/kobo strip DRM and move to the Kindle.


As usual, you seem to delight in maintaining that Amazon=god and can do no wrong, it is us who are evilly exploiting their kindness and doing bad things, so of course we suffer.

Guess what, not everyone is you.
