• Interview w/Kobo CEO

02:10 AM by The_Enobee in E-Book Readers | Kobo Reader

This is a very interesting interview with Kobo CEO Michael Tamblyn. He goes into a lot of detail around ereader use cases, development, integrations, and how Kobo values the consumer's ability to access their books and take them to other devices.

Tamblyn comes on about halfway through the video (the segments are well marked if you hover over the progress bar).

E-Book Readers - Amazon Kindle

• Amazon is removing Download & Transfer option

10:51 AM by geoffwood in E-Book Readers | Amazon Kindle

Went to download a book this morning and saw the following posted on the Download page:

Starting February 26, 2025, the “Download & Transfer via USB” option will no longer be available. You can still send Kindle books to your Wi-Fi enabled devices by selecting the “Deliver or Remove from Device” option.

Makes me glad I bought an old Paperwhite so I can continue to download to that and directly copy the file from there and remove DRM
