Ditto for me. I haven't bought eBooks from either merchant after they got rid of the ability to download them.
Nowadays I just read previously downloaded books. I have more than enough for a lifetime. I also read library eBooks. But the wait time on new releases has gotten ridiculous, so I usually only borrow older eBooks from the library. If eBooks become unworkable in the future, I guess I'll just go back to my old way - buying used paperbacks from places like Abe Books. I did a lot of that back in the day when a used paperback sold for 1¢ with 99¢ shipping. Weird, but that's how they priced them.
I vote with my wallet all the time. But I have yet to find a merchant who appeared to care. They do what they want these days, and don't give a flip what the customer wants.
