Border control is a given with Kindle. This is a minuscule increment to that.

But also safety, convenience, and on Windows, much faster transfers. These are all improvements, albeit tiny ones.

I would not underestimate safety. If it prevents data corruption, that alone justifies it. A Kindle with corrupt data is not happy, may not even function.

And no macOS turds left behind.

I miss command line access, but where there is a will, there's a way.
