Actually a nice feature that’s not on other e-readers. My Kindle still gaslights me no updates are available though.

Jeff bezos thinks he owns the idea of selling merchandise on the internet.
He didn’t invent it.
He only exploited the postal service by abusing the media rate.
We paid for his empire with our taxes.
He stole from you. He stole from all of us.
He is still stealing and plans to steal more.
He is afraid of us. Because he knows that he stole from us.
And once enough of us realize it, he’s dead.
How does that relate to Kindle getting new text formatting options though?
Kindle is Amazon product
I really like The Expanse, you?
I like them books
Amazon adaption is pretty cool too. James S.A. Corey was involved.
Show was good until the cars anvar thing
This doesn’t make Jeff bezos a good person mind you.
He’s still a piece of shit who stole from us.
So he spent some of his ill gotten gains on a property I like? Should that make me forgive him for the evil he puts into our world for his own greed?
Methinks no
Every chance I get I will remind people that he’s a thief first and an oligarch supporting genocide and impoverishment of billions.
Fuck him. I hope he dies. Publicly. Badly.
Yeah, fuck Jeff Bezos, maybe not to death because that sounds like a good time. Big tech is obviously bad but you can paraphrase „every empire is evil but not everything empire does is evil” for this context. Personally I recommend getting a Kindle while in deep discount and then using it with your own books via Calibre because Amazon subsidises them and must be losing money on this kind of thing. Hardware’s not bad.
