Ah they're closing the walled garden off. More in shitification. You don't own the hardware, you just rent it from Amazon
There replacing file formats nobody uses with an open format (epub). I remember having to convert epubs before I could load them to my kindle so this is basically the opposite of closing off a walled garden.
But kindle still doesn't support epub files outright? You can't just sideload epub files, you have to use the email service.
Yeah you have to send through email. I guess some people might want to do via usb, I find sending to email easier tbh.
