1. To back up your books
2. To change the formatting according to your preferences

Both of those reasons are essential to me. I'll never buy a single book I cannot remove the DRM from.
Very well said. I agree 100%.

Hello guys.Silly question,but will i be able to just transfer files between kindle kids edition 2019 and my PC? (copy-paste)

If they are from Amazon with DRM, you can only open them on the Kindle that Amazon sent them to, or the one selected in Download for USB.
It's best to only add files to PC via Amazon website, never from a Kindle. Then you can remove DRM and read them on which ever device you own. You can't copy them to someone else.

For just reading and eBooks organization, Kobo is very good. Better then Onyx Boox. Can you find an app that allows easy series and collection support? It's very easy to do this using calibre.

That said. there was no reason to recommend Onyx because the thread was well and truly finished. next time, please read the dates.

Oh sorry I see now, its from 2019. I assumed because it was at the top that it was recent. still this can be useful to other people who read it in the future.
Can the thread be closed now?

The issue is not the recommendation but that you are recommending a Reader to someone who asked about 2-years ago.

I'll unstick this and eventually it'll fall into oblivion, but in the meantime, people can knock themselves out if they'd like.

Not on the original text but on a recent enough translation, yes. Ditto for translations of the Quran, Bible, Buddhist texts, etc. One of my friends is a retired minister and over 80% of his religious texts are in copyright.

Even my recent purchase of a new translation of The Art of War by Sun Tzu, etc. (the translator is quite certain that more than one author was involved) is copyright since this edition is a translation from 2015.
