Amazon ending Download & Transfer by USB

[tozka]

FYI mainly for US folks:

Starting February 26, 2025, the “Download & Transfer via USB” option will no longer be available. You can still send Kindle books to your Wi-Fi enabled devices by selecting the “Deliver or Remove from Device” option.

This is very annoying for a variety of reasons but technically you can still download your books to your Kindle, and then move that file to your computer (and/or into Calibre if you use that program). It's more likely to be in KFX format than AZW3, however, and I'm not sure if DRM can be removed from KFX format...

A Amazon como sempre provando que pode ser uma coisinha muito chata quando o assunto é livros, download e leitores. Eles não entendem que isso só afasta as pessoas???
