I use a free program called Calibre to manage what is on my kindle and have done for years. It allows you to load ebooks from any source or any format onto a kindle or other e-reader and it also allows you to download any books off the kindle onto your computer. I believe it can also strip any DRM from an ebook but I’ve never done that so I can’t vouch for it. I’m not sure if Amazon will manage to block Calibre from being able to do this but it should work as a solution for a while at least.
This is what I’m doing but you need an add-on to strip the DRM

I went to a paint pouring workshop last week, the pictures have only just finished drying. Here are the best two, the 3rd one was a disaster as I used light colours which just merged into a blob, then tried using a darker colour, which just made it look like something had been spilt on it! 2 out of 3 isn't too bad I suppose.
They look lovely!

That doesn't include other devices, I hope? I only read on my tablet.
I think it does. I mentioned the PC because I assume that, like me, readers have hundreds of Kindle e-books and therefore need to download them to a PC to back them up. My brother isn’t bothered about it but I am backing mine up. Amazon can take the book away if they want to, you’re buying the licence to read not the book.

Just in case anybody needs to know: Amazon are withdrawing the ability to download Kindle e-books to your PC hard drive on 26 February this year.

Currently reading The Glimpses of the Moon by Edith Wharton. It’s been too long since I last read her and I’m only a few pages in but love it already. The only problem is that it’s a short story!

Shakespeare , couldn't make heads or tails of it .
I thought Shakespeare was magical back then. Then again, I was allowed to listen to my grandmother quote whatever she felt like quoting whilst she (she would not allow anyone else in the kitchen at the time) did her dishes. I remember as a very small child being shown what was the threshold to the kitchen and told that I must not cross it but could listen to her if I kept quiet, and I did. She didn't just quote things parrot fashion she 'emoted' as they say in acting circles. I had no idea what she was saying but I got the gist from the expression in her voice. When I got to secondary school Shakespeare, Burns and sections of The King James version of the Bible all made perfect sense to me.

Oh that's an old one! I really enjoyed it, bit different to du Maurier's usual books.
I really enjoyed that one too and yes, very different

Hello Damian and welcome to the forum. Please don’t be shy, join in anywhere you like

I’m with you, life is too short, and there are far too many books, to waste time reading something (anything) that you are not enjoying. I only did that once and will never do it again.

Reading The Snow was Dirty, Georges Simenon. Not Maigret! Fits nicely with the current group read subject of Winter. And it’s very different to his Maigret books

Another book of H.G. Wells: World without End is another of my favorites concerning time travel into a future. I don't think anyone of us were born while him writing that novel. I've a hard cover of that and it earily reminds me of the Divine Comedy. And I have a hard cover of that too.
Think you mean The World Set Free by H G Wells.

Thank you @Madeleine. I do that too but my reviews always seem to be deficient in the information that I want from a review!
