    Using Kindle Paperwhite from some years as my first ebook reader, but I’m tired about the DRM stuffs and I will move to Kobo as soon it will be time to replace it.

      If you have an original Paperwhite, your device is going to lose internet access next month, so make sure you make a backup of all your ebooks before then.

      Luckily I have the Paperwhite 2 from 2013 so I’ll be able to keep using mine for now. But I’ll be backing up everything anyway because it’s only a matter of time before Amazon comes for my device too. I’ll not be buying another Kindle once mine is no longer functional.

      Before you do, make sure to backup your Kindle library and remove DRM from your library by entering your Kindle’s device key into Calibre after installing the De-DRM plugin. I deleted my Amazon (Kindle) account before switching to Kobo + Anna’s Archive, and there are some books that I found on Kindle that aren’t found anywhere else.
