I am saying the whiners are just doing so to whine for no good reason.

In case you weren't aware, I believe you can get Kindle Unlimited books onto a Kobo.

and 7+11 = 18% of 857 reviews at amazon uk is a lot- its not just a handful of whiners. I doubt they are professional whiners though I could be wrong. the fake reviews for most products are the 5 star ones, not the tail end lets widen the net though, what see what amazon .com buyers think of the all new oasis... well 9% of 4002 give it just 1 star, and another 8% give it 2 stars. that is a LOT of unhappy buyers... there's no quick way to subdivide those into battery issues, form/weight issues, and other, but if we charitably delete 50% as being about the oasis battery life there's still hundreds of people with other things not to like, so much so that they are writing reviews... If I was just about to launch a very expensive copy-cat shaped device, I'd be worried that I'd missed something |

What's this, let's all steal library books week ?
I thought mobile read disapproved of that sort of behaviour. They guys who wrote the de DRM tools needed are 100% against them being used on loans. You are also depriving the author of his share of the Kindle unlimited pot as Amazon will register no pages read once you have off lined his book into another format on kobo I am not a mod but I think your" recipe "falls under assisting piracy and should be removed Last edited by stumped; 10-09-2018 at 09:57 AM. |

As stumped said, the same would applying to stripping DRM from public library books to transfer them to a Kindle, and discussing that is verboten.
Kindle Unlimited is a private library scheme, why should it be treated differently? Last edited by murraypaul; 10-09-2018 at 10:19 AM. |

"With a Kindle Unlimited subscription, you have access to over one million titles in the Kindle Store, including books, audiobooks, and magazines. Using your Amazon account, you can browse and borrow up to ten titles and access them from any Amazon device or Kindle reading app...."
I suggest the step by step how-to from a few posts back is snipped. there should not be detailed instructions at this forum for how to get overdrive epub loans onto a kindle OR FOR how to get kindle unlimited loans onto a Kobo as an aside, the Amazon prime lending ( if that is today's title) - the one which lets prime members borrow from a smaller selection of books to read on amazon devices is much more locked down. Those books only deliver to amazon hardware and not to Kindle for PC. I am sort of surprised the same lock down and restrictions have not been applied to Kindle Unlimited.
