This doesn't make your experience any less valid, but neither does it make it relevant to many people here, because most here read and acquire more than you do. Things that you will never encounter, or that you may encounter very infrequently, may be great inconveniences to someone who has to deal with them multiple times daily. And those of us who read more naturally will experience the need to charge their devices far far more frequently than you will. I can reach Amazon's projected 28 hours of usage in three days.

Yes, many here only side load eBooks, catalog with Calibre and remove DRM with Apprentice Alf. However, there are probably MILLIONS of eBook readers who have just enough interest to LEARN how to use a Kindle. They probably never side loaded any eBooks at all and never even heard that DRM is even important. They probably do not even know what DRM means.
I consider myself part of the SILENT majority of Amazon users who just buy an eBook to read it and don't even bother with any Collections at all other than the minimal Collection software supplied by Amazon. I'm probably one of the VERY FEW to even read these posts here and respond. Most probably never even heard of this Forum at all.
For me my PW 2013 works perfectly for MY NEEDS and probably the vast majority of Amazon customers. I have never received any annoying messages.
In the past there was a wide difference for readers of print books as well. Some had many rooms in their houses to store large collections of books of all varieties a very few having mastered the Dewey Decimal System to file them properly. Most were like me and got one book per month from the Book of the Month Club and dropped last month's book into the garbage. The only print books I still possess are a large variety of Bibles in many languages.
