    I was never a heavy GR user because it felt like homework for reading, but I used to really enjoy reading user reviews on books I particularly disliked. Some of the reviews were more well written than the thing being reviewed. It makes me so upset that amazon is now profiting off of the dedication of the GR community.

    Amazon should not be able lock authors into exclusivity contracts with Kindle Unlimited either, but who's gonna stop them?

    My wife lost her amazon account (with all her ebooks) twice and she still buys ebooks there. I managed to import a Kobo from Paraguay to try and get her off the hook but it only worked for like 3 months as almost everything is amazon exclusive these days.

    (both times she lost the accounts for disputing credit card charges that were not tied to her account)
