Asking for a friend here:

You know Amazon. You know goddamn well, that Amazon has already made people rebuy books when you move from a state to another. What kind of fucking lobotomy did you get to still buy books from amazon? And how are you suprised that Amazon is doing this, already after inventing their own drm, e-book format, and making it as hard as possible to use their books on non kindles?

Stopped buying books from Amazon years ago. Still had 120 there from previous purchases. Definitely couldn't just re-buy the books elsewhere.

This tool got the last of my library moved from Amazon so I DON'T have to buy from them again.
