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.

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.

Still useful if you utilize calibre

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