Don't throw away your Kindle, Jailbreak it and take back ownership. Make your Kindle even better with KoReader and other apps. If you wanna see whats possible i recomment this Yt video. If you wanna get started here are all instructions: https://kindlemodding.org/ Don't let it scare you it seems complicated but its just a lot of (easy) steps. So definitely possible in <2h.

Amazon still wants to retain a sense of ownership of their Kindle devices, despite it being the user who one who bought and owns it.

It's a similar idea (albeit corrupt) idea to communism, where you don't own anything, as everyone owns it. (there's a USSR emblem in the corner, signifying the meme has an oppressive communistic feel about the subject)
