   TIL: Whatever #ebooks or documents you put on a #Kindle, they're being indexed & uploaded automatically to the #Amazon server if the device has an internet connection. Just found out with an unpublished #manuscript that someone wanted to read on their Kindle and it ended up on the Amazon server, although it was put onto the Kindle manually via cable. Whatever you do with Amazon devices, you're adding everything to Amazon's data collection. #Enshittification #AuthorRights #IntellectualProperty

     That's terrible. Thanks for letting us know.

     I decided to no longer buy any Kindle ebooks when these news broke:

     And when I have the money for it, I'll also buy a non-Kindle ebook reader.
