I have been buying as many as 10 Amazon books a week via the "Bookbub" cheap book alert service, but now am faced with the fact that those are no longer manageable in my main tool for ebooks.

Going forward I have switched my Bookbub account to only look at Apple books which will dramatically reduce Amazon purchases to a handful a year. I am also going to move author tracking to Apple so all my pre-buys are non-Amazon.

Meanwhile I bought a used Kindle on ebay since I gave my Gen 1 Kindle to a friend and have been a tablet user for 10 years or more. Hope this will allow me to pick-up the 2 dozen books that are caught in the lock-out.

Not sure if I should find an alternative to Kindle reader since depending on Amazon to do the right thing is clearly a dangerous strategy(?)

Did I miss anything?
