Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books
Amazon will discontinue the feature allowing users to download and backup Kindle books to computers via USB starting February 26th, 2025, limiting users to Wi-Fi transfers only. The change impacts users' ability to maintain offline backups of their purchases and convert books to other formats for non-Kindle devices. This decision raises concerns about digital content ownership and accessibility, particularly given Amazon's history of remotely removing or editing books.
