hey for anyone who might want to actually own their kindle books instead of renting them, or who might be thinking of switching to kobo etc and will want to convert them to epubs, you now only have one week before amazon kills your ability to download its ebooks www.theverge.com/news/612898/...

Amazon’s killing a feature that let you download and backup Kindle books

It’s bad if you like to keep ebook backup copies.

Our first book for the new year is Termush by Sven Holm- a post apocalyptic story about wealthy elites escaping a burning world in a fancy hotel brixtonbookgroup.com/meetings/ter...
