I only strip off the DRM so I can keep them in my Calibre library "forever" to reread, for reference, and to collect my reviews. So, I am bummed by this latest Amazon change that prevents me from continuing a practice I have had most of my adult life. My question for the community is, is this inability temporary or should I stop buying books from Amazon forever? Thank you for any advice you can offer. My Kindle Unlimited renewal awaits your input.
If the books you are keeping forever are from Kindle Unlimited, you should stop. That is my advice.

As for books you want to purchase, there are workarounds. But for me, I'm moved away from Amazon and am buying from Kobo and B&N.
