You go to your Amazon account to find your book purchases. You can still load the books onto kindle, but nowhere else, so you’re locked in to the kindle ecosystem. The guy in the video explains it better than i can.

I agree with this post. Move on and build your life your way.

I’d like to add, in case it’s helpful, from my own experience the thinking about it never ends. My dad passed 40 years ago and i still have the same thoughts, feelings, arguments even (a little more one-sided now that he’s gone, though). I mean the dynamic might last forever, but you can separate that emotional internal dynamic from how you live your life. And there’s a kind of “this stops here” effect, because your own children will never have to deal with all that stuff, because you dealt with it and moved on. That’s something to be proud of.

Good point. Sleepwalking into authoritarianism doesn’t seem difficult these days.

These “super-app” fantasies always ignore the fact that WeChat is ubiquitous in China because the Chinese government practically requires everyone to have it. How exactly is that supposed to be replicated in a non-authoritarian society?
