    I didn’t even disagree with the author’s assessment of bezos but it really made the article shit. I really wish people would stop putting their opinions into every “article”. Amazon looks shitty without the insults. Use neutral language and detail the facts of a situation and let the reader think " God I’m so sick of bezos and his Mr. Clean wannabe, fascist loving, punchable face." On their own.

      Bezos doesn’t run the business anymore. He’s no longer the CEO. While he exploited the workers during his tenure, as a customer I had no complaints when he was CEO. They had only started to enshittify recently

        I can’t believe I didn’t know Bezos wasn’t CEO any more. Thanks for the info. 2021 was a weird year for me guess I wasn’t paying attention when that happened. Doesn’t change my opinion of Bezos as a person, but now I have someone new I also dislike 🤣.

        He is the executive chairman for Amazon’s board though.

    Does anyone know if using Calibre will be affected by this change?

      If you use a kindle. Mod it before it’s too late. There is a new exploit that works on all kindles.

        Wasn’t aware you could mod a Kindle. What does doing this do?
