But it has nothing to do with Amazon disabling the option to side load for example EPUBs to your Amazon e-reader via USB. This was the impression i got from the other article. I think you can imagine that i was/am really scared this could be the case!
As an PW2 and KOA3 owner (that has a lot of books bought via Amazon but even more from other shops) the option to side load via USB is crucial.
The first post should summarize it. If things change, I will edit it. (Additionally, I give mods permission to edit it in case I go absent.)
