    The optimist in me says they’re doing this to avoid piracy.

    The pessimist in me says they’re doing this so they can purge books because of the Trump administration.

    Either way, I can’t say I’m a fan.

    I sure am glad I got a Kobo for myself for Xmas and ripped all my books to it. Guess I’ll be recycling my Kindle for good.

      I just got a Kobo color (don’t recommend the color feature; no book is ever going to use it except the red-letter Bible and House of Leaves) and gifted the old Kindle to a friend. I e-reader is an awesome gift actually because for a lot of people it’s something they would never evenly in years take a chance on, but that they would love it if they tried.
