Mmm. I like your veracity.

They fired the devs, not marketing /s

They retained a large portion of their staff and are still headquartered in Toronto, though.

Oh damn, I hadn’t heard of that with the Avowed thing. That’s a Bethesda/Microsoft sleezeball move right there.

I think people in general need to just default to “finding content another way”, because companies should never be given the benefit of the doubt IMO.

Case in point is Obsidian, they are supposed to be one of the good ones.

Should definitely be. My mother has the Paper White 6" and I am able to transfer all my zlib EPUB and MOBIs through USB with no issues.

Nevermind, I think I misunderstood and you meant it more like, “We’ll see how long they allow this feature”

(and for whatever reason strikethrough markdown isn’t working…)

I’ve never used it, but curious myself what the benefits are.

Seems too easy to just hop on tor, login, and download.

IMO, err on the side of caution and just don’t use it.

Interesting site. I already snagged a Kobo, but I’ll definitely keep this in mind for other stuff!

Ahh, looks like Canada native company started by Indigo, bought by Rakuten in 2011. At least their HQ and all is still in Toronto, didn’t get gutted by the buyout.

I’d never heard of these, thanks! I been trying to find old Kindles for sale, but this looks like a much better choice.

ETA: they’re also a Canadian company, win-win

I was ruined by What.CD, haven’t been able to find a satisfactory one since.

But also, with streaming services and smaller file sizes, torrenting isn’t as necessary. I haven’t seen these two listed, so here you go. Each site has a few options and server locations, so you just need to try the different ones until you know which one works. Some offer FLAC, some MP3 320.

For me, Lucida.to searching Amazon seems to be the most reliable.

I’ve been wondering the same. I think I’m in the 1-2 year mark currently.
