I bought a Kindle in 2012 and the thing just sits in a drawer now. The hardware's great but it's crippled by the software/DRM which now refuses any attempt to login. Can't work out whether it's due to the age of the device or the fact I've since moved to Japan (Amazon JP is "special" compared to virtually every other country). I won't be buying another one.

You can use Calibre to side load books without an account. It can also convert epubs to mobi’s.
