Read the thread. They don't want to turn off the AI options. They want the code not be there at all.

You're right. I should have said that they no longer buy dead wood, but you don't have to take everything so literally and seriously.

Personally, I don't feel any particular desire for the bookshelf view (and I'm one of those who no longer buy paper books). Never understood the fascination, and the same applies to cover grids and browsers. List view for me, always.

OTOH, several people have asked for the bookshelf over the years, so obviously it's attractive for some.

I still order physical books, but only if they're not available digitally, digital edition behind unbreakable DRM, or format doesn't work well (heavy layout coffee-table books).

I sometimes do too, but it's becoming increasingly rare for me - maybe one paper book per year or so. I already have far too many unread books, both paper and digital, and as I have little room for physical stuff, it must be a book I absolutely have to have. Doesn't happen too often these days.

I'm curious, what books are behind unbreakable DRM? I haven't really met any among the books I usually read. Textbooks, yes, but I don't have anything to do with those.

I haven't actually come across any, lol.
