Everyone is upset with Amazon over the removal of D&T, rushing to download their entire library while they can. But what if Amazon isn't as truly evil as they appear to be? There is a planned announcement from Amazon's hardware division today at 10AM eastern time. Perhaps it will go something like this:
"
Welcome and good morning. Starting today we have discontinued the popular Download and Transfer via USB feature of our web site. And now I am here to announce its replacement, the new Open Download feature. That's right starting today you can download DRM-free copies of all of your purchased books in the industry standard EPUB format so that you can read them on whatever device or platform you desire. Downloads are now easy and unlimited. In fact you can download every book in your library with a dingle click!
Sorry, just kidding. Now moving on to the real announcement...AI-lexa!
Our new super-LLM has been trained on the entire content of Amazon's vast Kindle book collection. Now instead of having to slog through long and boring books just to impress your friends and partners you now can now have AI-lexa hallucinate a one minute summary of the book so that everyone else will believe you have actually read it. Put down that old Kindle and get back to doomscrolling TikTok on your phone today!"
