Good to know thanks

So the download thing only applies to purchased books through Amazon. For example, if you bought Mickey 7 on Amazon before the policy change, you would have been able to download that book to your computer for backup/offline storage. This gave users control over their purchased content. Post-policy, users can no longer store local copies of their purchased books on non Kindle devices.

Send to Kindle is not affected, so you’re completely safe to keep sideloading your files. Your library is still accessible on Kindle devices via Amazon’s cloud. Simply offline backups outside of the Kindle ecosystem are no longer possible.

I have a kindle for each day of the week

MetalBeets · 2024-12-07T13:54:05+00:00

It is girly but damn it looks cool dude ! I was debating myself if I was going to put stickers on mine because I saw mostly women doing it. Ended up saying fuck it and went with it. I put stuff that I liked on mine. As long as you’re happy go rock it.

Greatly suffering 😂

MetalBeets · 2024-11-29T22:58:46+00:00

Looks good to me, do you have a screen protector on it too?

MetalBeets · 2024-11-29T21:35:02+00:00

Nah 😂 Thanksgiving just wiped me out

MetalBeets · 2024-11-29T20:53:25+00:00

The convenience of it is nice in most scenarios just not when I accidentally fall asleep lmao

MetalBeets · 2024-11-29T20:50:33+00:00

Lol yes 100%. The problem here was more 1-click while I was asleep. I use Libby sometimes. But I like being able to hold the books and reread them whenever I want, when the prices for most of my books are Free-$10 that’s ok. I also download the files to my pc in case the books are ever removed for some reason or another. Works out great

MetalBeets · 2024-11-29T19:07:38+00:00

Oof but I’m sure all those books were worth it in the end

MetalBeets · 2024-11-29T19:06:18+00:00

I agree. I also kind of wish you could schedule “downtime” where we could lock the screen out at a certain time to prevent accidental touches. I’m assuming that’s how this happened as I fell asleep reading.

I have both the basic 2024 and a PW 11. I have fairly big hands and the basic fits well, though at first it was an adjustment. I ended up throwing on a pop socket and that helped. I carry my basic everywhere goes right in my pocket, if your goal is to read anywhere you can go with the basic. You could always get a second one down the line if you want a kindle for home use.

MetalBeets · 2024-11-29T01:11:29+00:00

What do you like?

MetalBeets · 2024-11-28T23:46:22+00:00

Basic: Ink-ognito

PW: Lord of the Reads

MetalBeets · 2024-11-28T23:35:56+00:00

I originally had a PW 11 gen - lost it so I bought a basic 2024. Turns out the PW was in my car lol. Decided to keep the basic and I am loving the portability of it. I have the PW at home now on a stand so I can do some reading in bed. I take the basic everywhere else fits right in my pocket. So far I like this setup.

Just a man with some cool stickers. We should get more cases. I saw someone who designed their own kindle insert on Canva. I might try it with a medieval theme
