I can always bulk download whatever I want on the high seas.

Goose meme: Where do the original files come from? Where do the pirates get the files in the first place?!

Most of my library is scans of paper books. I wish more of my reading was in native epub and not automatically recognized with tons of mistakes, but eh, whatever.

On Linux: install puppeteer first from your ~ directory

For me, bun start --manualAuth --baseUrl "https://www.amazon.tld/" worked

Definitely saving this for future use. I got duped into buying a kindle because they’re waterproof.

You only have a week to do it before the option is lost forever.

Kobos have waterproofing and are far less restrictive.

They are not the only waterproof option, you know...

Still useful if you utilize calibre

I think right now all of the Kindle e-ink devices can be jailbroken to be less restrictive, so if you have sources for DRM-free ebooks (Baen and a few other publishers and sites sell them) they're a lot easier to use on the device you already have.
