  • I am surprised Ars didn't mention that Amazon/Kindle recently shut down the ability to download eBooks (and by extension extract them into a format like ePub). This is a critical development when considering an e-ink device from Amazon.

    • That’s an issue with the Amazon services but the device itself is pretty much as capable as it was before so you can source your books elsewhere, which I think many people do. Now, if they took away their undocumented format converter that works over email, then I’d be angry. My next device won’t be a Kindle for other reasons though.

      • The email method still works? I thought that was being shut down as well?

        I converted all my Kindle eBooks into ePub and basically gave up on the Kindle platform.
