With all due respect, that’s how paper books work. That’s how library digital copies work too. People buy and lend books all the time. And the pushback is because Amazon is essentially saying that previous purchases can be removed from people’s digital shelves. No one was trying to share before this

I have worked with DRM since digitak music became a thing. it was theft then, too. I know exactly how DRM works and the push back is likely due authors screaming about their lax stance the issue, other than to punish the author when someone decides to break the drm & illegally puts it on the net.

The push back is 100% because the company is getting ready to pull books if they are banned under Trump. Film companies have done similar things on streaming services overseas. Amazon could care less about authors. They are not your friends.
