Public Service Announcement

For anyone who owns a kindle, some very unobtrusive fine print informed me today that amazon is sunsetting the "download and transfer via USB" option on February 26. Make sure to download the contents of your library to a non-kindle device before that, because once the option goes away anything you've paid money for will become wholly rent-to-never-own.

これで以上です。

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck.

I have always used this option to keep library books on my non-wifi-connected Kindle for far longer than I otherwise would be able to. This especially comes in handy on trips, but I am going to miss it just generally.
