Starting a month or two ago, if your kindle is connected to Wi-Fi, all new USB
-loaded books will be checked out and have their covers forcibly removed before they will display, coverless, on your kindle. You have to then update metadata a second time for it to work (assuming thats what calibre is doing).

But, books load just fine on airplane mode. Only when you connect to internet it starts.

This is scary that amazon is willing to do this to promote their own book sales.

Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly, the ill deeds, along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly. The rest... is silence.

I'm not big on digital, personally... And Kindle kind of sucks since there are plenty of books I couldn't/can't find on it... A little weird, but whatever...

You act like this is all that Amazon is going to do. Pretty soon Amazon will start charging you first for the book itself and then charge you again each time you turn the page. After that they will start charging you for turning on your Kindle and then finally charge you 10 cents for each second that the Kindle is turned on.

they've had something like 20 years to do that

it's also a ridiculous scenario and you should feel bad for posting it

This has happened for as long as I've had my kindle. You just have to plug in the device again with Calibre open. Not a big deal.

Yes as long as you don't connect to the internet (or rely on it)

I have all of my books backed up - I can re-load them without ever connecting online. Same with nearly all of my movies & TV shows. Many I've had in this format since the early 2000's : so it has worked for 20+ years so far.

I tried going digital only with the Wii. After that disaster, I'm pretty much physical only unless there is a specific game I must have.
