This needs to be an open source script! I would love to use it to actually own my purchased books.
Just buy ebooks from sites that don't fucking you over in the future. If you already have a kindle its annoying but pocketbooks and other eReaders are right there.
Or send money straight to the author and pirate the book
Or just pirate the book. Anyone who makes their work only available by giving an evil, corrupt corporation money can go fuck themselves.
Actually, scratch that, send them an email from a burner account that can't be linked to you telling them you pirated their book, and why, with absolutely no money. Just a massive fuck you :)
You ok there fella?
No, not really. One of my greatest joys is dominated by a megacorp and everyone is just fine with it.
