I'm really confused about people being upset about Amazon locking down kindles. Do they not know libgen exists? Or that you can airplane mode your device, stop updating, and disconnect your account. You can have all the beautiful e-books you could ever want. For free. Without spying or greed.

I guess there is the argument that "piracy is bad". But last time I checked, spying on all my data and selling it to the government so they can get around the fourth amendment with a pile of money they printed out of thin air + my tax dollars paying for it isn't cool either, so I wasn't planning to support those companies anyway..
