#AMAZON KINDLE READER UPDATE#
Only after all that could you read your more-ethically-purchased book on your begrudingly-purchased-from-Amazon Kindle.įinally, in “ late 2022,” we won’t have to take quite as many steps to just read some gosh darn books, according to an update on Amazon’s Help & Customer Service page.
So, if you want to use a Kindle (they’re affordable and nice, okay) but don’t want to give Amazon any extra money after that purchase, you’d have to buy an e-book, convert it into an AZW3 file (thanks, Calibre), and then email it to a specific address associated with your Kindle device. Amazon e-books use the company’s proprietary AZW3 file type, whereas basically everyone else in the world uses EPUB. Since it’s Amazon, though, Kindles make it a little challenging to upload e-books that you didn’t purchase from them. But hey, those folks in Seattle make a pretty good e-reader. At the time of publication, warehouse workers in Staten Island are fighting for better work treatment by voting in yet another historic union election. Amazon is… a company that could bear to have a bit better of an ethical track record.
