Everyone, 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.

Yeah, I never really used that feature either. I buy books on the Kindle for very little.

Yeah, I usually have some saved credits from delaying delivery on Amazon Prime purchases or buy when there is a sale. Most often I use library, anyway. but still in was interesting to go through my collection and wonder why do I have some of the books and how did I forget about them

SmartBitches recs of Kindle Daily Deals for books priced between $0 to $4.99 is why I have so many books that I forgot about. LOL!
