"
Surely the k for pc 1.17 concern is not as bad as you imply..."
Maybe so. It isn't something I actively worry about. There's more than one way to skin a cat I know, but having an epub reader started to seem like a good idea after I somehow allowed Mac to upgrade the Kindle app, and discovered the game was up with Calibre. All put back to rights now though.
Now and again the Mac tells me i should upgrade kindle, but I ignore it.
However, where previously Kobo was just a word I'd heard, now I've seen that nice 6.8" screen with the fancy lighting, I'm fancying an upgrade.
We doesn't needs it, but we WANTS it...
