To clarify:
The way Amazon implements Personal vs non-personal is wrong, inc crippling covers etc. No-one else does this.
IMO the best reason to by an ereader, and the reason we bought them, is to read Public domain ebooks unavailable on paper. It's a bonus that it can be cheaper and more convenient to read bought novels as ebooks rather than on paper.
Often non-fiction or comics / graphic novels, text books and PDFs are better on a 10" to 14" real tablet.
But this is only one thing Amazon is doing wrong.
Solutions:
- Never use Whispernet, but Download and Transfer for content bought off Amazon.
- Never Sync. It's quicker to use search and find a phrase for position on another device. Amazon offers sync to track you and monetise your reading.
- Never use KU. Buy ebooks. Better for you and the author. KDP Select cheats.
- Never use Send To Kindle (App, email or web). It's giving Amazon a copy. It's less private, secure and envirnomentally poorer/
So don't turn on WiFi. Yes, all of this is a big problem for PDFs/Notes on a Scribe. I nearly bought one, but after reading Tomsem's experience and how it works I never will unless Amazon changes.
Complain to Amazon. Meanwhile only sideload, only buy Amazon content and remove the DRM using your Kindle serial number. Make backups.
