Why not just buy elsewhere? Surely most countries have alternatives to Amazon for ebooks? - or don't they?

It seems like a lot of trouble to go through just to carry on buying from a company that clearly doesn't give a rats a*** about their customers.
If a book is Kindle Unlimited, you have to buy it from Amazon. I still buy books from Amazon if they are in KU, but I don’t spend a lot on a book usually 99p. If a book costs more than that and it’s not in KU, I always go to Kobo or smashwords and if it’s DRM free then I send it to my Kindle. If it’s Adobe, then I read it on my kobo.

I do hate that Amazon have stopped us downloading our books but unfortunately there doesn’t seem to be much we can do about it.
