I am the author of more than 85 books and I swear I will never buy another DRM-protected ebook again. If I can't OWN what I buy, I don't want to buy it.

I am sick and tired of books I buy being tied up in an app that requires me to run the gauntlet of ads for other books before I am able to open the book I paid for and want to read. And worries about books being deleted or updated or otherwise altered AFTER I HAVE PAID FOR THEM. They are MINE. I should be able to open them wherever I want to.

I buy books wherever the author sells them to support them. Sometimes it's Amazon. It's good if there's a DRM-free version provided, but if not I get a DRM-free version on high sees. I bought it, Iā€™m keeping a copy.

@Maria Langer | šŸ“ šŸŽ¬ āš’ļøšŸ›„ļø I feel your pain. Though theft put OReilly's DRM Free program out of business. Which is unfortunate. I can see the issues from both sides.

I am not bombarded by ads when I use Web Based Kindle or my phone/ tablet version. I am wondering what client you are using that bombards you with ads?

note: My OS is Gnu/Linux so there is not a native Kindle client.
