I guess we can now add most Android devices to the list
Yeah. Verefied this is happening on Android and Apple. Its pretty lousy
ebooks today are a total scam. Kindle is a scam. You're not buying a book at all - you're just buying permission to read the book when amazon feels like letting you. If you make amazon mad your books can disappear, if amazon messes up your books can disappear, if you dare move to another country your books can disappear. if you want ebooks, get them from somewhere that actually gives you the real epub file, or buy physical books from actual physical bookstores
remember physical books don't need charging, physical books will still work 100 years from now and physical books are beautiful.
DRM is straight up theft, if you need a digital copy, unless you have a non DRM'd epub, they just stole your money, always, you just don't know it yet
