More closely in recent years, certainly. You've said yourself you're no longer interested in DRM removal and haven't been for some time. I know perfectly well you were involved in it once, when I was still reading paper books. But that was a long time ago, and Amazon's attitude toward it was far more relaxed then than it is now. For many years they didn't even seriously try to close the obvious holes. Now? They've gotten very aggressive with it. Disabling D&T for purchased books, constant updating their DRM for their apps and devices (yes, sometimes almost immediately after a new method has been published, like with Satsuoni and also when Epubor came out with their own method shortly before - Amazon disabled it very quickly), stopping older versions of their apps from downloading books published after a certain apparently randomly selected date, ditching pre-KFX Kindles, replacing K4PC.

It's obvious from your posts you haven't kept track of all these details in DRM development and Amazon's activities. And I'm not saying you should. It's just that it's pretty clear what's going on, taking all this into account.
