True, but let’s imagine newer Kindle devices or apps won’t allow you to read the previously downloaded files anymore? And I’m aware DeDRM exists, but so do DRM-free book shops. It’s not like I was okay to buy books from Amazon before, but now that they are getting rid of the download option, I will suddenly look for alternatives.
Some uh people I know are doing that, yeah. Wouldn’t that violate ToS though? I’m sure even without direct downloads, there will be ways to pirate Amazon books. I mean last time I checked, Netflix didn’t let me download the video files but that doesn’t keep people from pirating the content.
Does this make a big difference? Even if you have the ability to download the books from the website, they are still DRM protected, no?
Yes, exactly. The comic was published on October 13, 2008, according to Explain XKCD, that’s probably why iTunes is in it.
