Re:Kindle to end store downloads and registering for 1st-5th... by Insanity on Tuesday April 07, 2026 @02:45PM (#47679616)
I buy both physical and digital books and much prefer digital, reading on my kindle is more convenient (especially to adjust the font size). For sharing with family, I have a family library set up with Amazon and the experience is really smooth.

I do enjoy owning physical copies of books I liked, and they are part of the “decor” at home at this point. I have limited space so I have 2 completely stacked bookshelves, and then piles of books around the kitchen on top of the cupboards etc.

So I don’t think it needs to be “either or”. :)

Are you okay with losing your entire Kindle library in case you lose your amazon account?
