Most people bought many ebooks from Amazon with the idea they were buying a personal copy of the content, a digital version of a paper book. Not that they were paying for a lease that Amazon can terminate.
Paper books are also licenced. You can't give away copies.
KU shouldn't exist in it's present form. Real libraries often also loan ebooks and in UK & Ireland a library must pay for a copy of a book upfront and then pay a publisher agreed per loan/borrow royalty even if it's not read. Amazon in KU pays nothing for the content and invasively tracks your reading progress. Amazon unilaterally decides on pot on money to share per page read in KU.
Amazon by disabling Download in a Browser and then ability to copy by USB is cheating customers. If they still had that (only ended last year) then there would be no need to "support" direct connection of older Kindles.
Is it time for a class action? People have been misled.
