Feb. 16th, 2025 12:37 pmEveryone, probably, heard that Amazon will stop allow downloading the books one bought to a hard drive. I have never used this feature, for all the years I am using Kindle, but now I decided to give into the panic and download what I have collected over the year.

It was a very interesting experience.
1) I don’t have that many books in my Kindle library: I have collected books from many places, and used the library ebook loans very extensively.
2) I have many random books in my Kindle Library that I got because they were free or something like $1. Sometimes I don’t even remember what are those and why did I get them.
3) I have many books I bought, wanted to read, and then – never did. /// feeling lots of shame now
4) I have bought and read lots of manga in years 2020-2022 – those are on my tablet kindle app .
5) the passage of time is weird. I thought I bought something very recently – and here I see that the year of purchase is 2018.
