Amazon will discontinue the feature allowing users to download and backup Kindle books to computers via USB starting February 26th, 2025, limiting users to Wi-Fi transfers only. The change impacts users' ability to maintain offline backups of their purchases and convert books to other formats for non-Kindle devices. This decision raises concerns about digital content ownership and accessibility, particularly given Amazon's history of remotely removing or editing books.
