Discovered during the week I was unable to access a Kindle book purchased in 2013. Reason? The order was “too old”, and refund issued to buy again. Which was pointless as the book is now more expensive than when I bought it.

Subsequently discovered 66(!!) other ebooks no longer available for download.

Currently 40 minutes in to a support chat with Amazon.

About to learn, I think, whether we purchase ebooks, or rent them…

@monro DRM is irritating! I have once purchased a book from Apple store. I haven't figured out how I can read it on a non-apple device. And e-books from normal book stores seems to require Adobe-software. Like when borrowing from library, or the library app. E-books have their advantages, but indeed paper books are far better regarding ownership and privacy!
