LAST CHANCE TO BACK UP KINDLE EBOOKS
The Kindle's Download & Transfer via USB feature is being discontinued on February 26, allowing only pre-2024 Kindle owners to download ebook purchases to a computer. This move is likely related to piracy, as the feature was previously used to bypass Digital Rights Management (DRM) protections. Users with older Kindles need to act quickly to backup their ebooks before this option disappears.
- As more and more companies adopt digital rights management, we may see a rise in DIY solutions for preserving digital content, forcing us to re-examine our assumptions about ownership and control in the digital age.
- How will the loss of the Download & Transfer via USB feature impact the long-term preservation of ebooks, particularly for those with limited access to high-tech devices or internet connectivity?
