I hear this alot. And believe me, I sympathize. But I do find it kinda weird when people leave their Kobo's behind to go back to Amazon because of Amazon's restrictive policies. It strikes me as tantamount to saying "My captors have made it too difficult to throw off my shackles, so I guess I'm just going to remain enslaved."
I've got several hundred Kindle books purchased as well. And granted, I liberated the DRM from
most of them when it was easier. But even just two weeks ago, I bought a Kindle book off Amazon (I had promised myself I would stop after these DRM changes, but dammit it was cheaper than on Kobo
), and it was still easy enough to remove the DRM. It just requires keeping a physical e-ink Kindle device active to your Amazon account so that they will give you the option of downloading an AZW file to manually transfer via USB. That file is then decryptable by Calibre/DeDRM.
