Amazon is closing a loophole that allowed users to download Kindle books via USB to their computer, effective February 26. This feature was intended for older Kindle devices without Wi-Fi, but it also enabled users to avoid DRM limitations. The change mainly affects those managing e-book libraries with third-party software like Calibre, as they could previously download and strip DRM from books. Users can continue using older devices for downloads, but immediate action is needed to transfer files before the deadline.
The 'Download & transfer via USB' feature will be removed, impacting primarily users who manage their e-book libraries using third-party software or older devices.
This change primarily affects users who previously utilized the feature to download and strip DRM from e-books for use on non-Kindle platforms.
