    The article literally says you will still be able to push books via Calibre etc, but won’t be able to download books into Kindle from PC.

    Example: If you don’t have a WiFi at home, there is an option to connect Kindle via USB to your ethernet connected PC and download books from Amazon that way.

    And this option is going away, as most people have WiFi.

    Anywho, fuck Amazon (for other things, but not this one).

      Yeah it seems more like they decided that maintaining that specific feature isn’t worth it because not enough users are using it. It sucks, but that’s just how it goes with closed hardware and software ecosystems.

      I send epubs via email. I didn’t see any reference to that. Is that still going to be possible?
