I'm not using Windows that much..
*hrhr* (But the majority of users seems to still be driven into that direction (PR knows why..
) - which is mostly why I chose to write those kludgy .bat scripts in the first place...)
Also - I already instigated a "motion" in the communites I'm more active in to at least counter balance (*hrm*) the public opinion against the recent actions by Amazon. I at least mention the forced update regime once every month by now - because combined with the exclusivity publishers and authors granted them production wise (.kfx) it means, that they can iterate and push "fixes" without user consent, without knowledge, and without us having a real way to counteract it (blocking with that _temp folder - is not something the normal user..., you know the drill..
).
Also - isn't it funny how fast they backpaddle once another move to phase out eBook formats we still can understand gets some media attention? Sad thing is, they'll always try again, after a little cooldown period.. But most of this is off topic - so I'll just stop there...
edit: You can also look at it this way: This is my contribution to get people off of Whispersync once and for all.
