I have a sizable collection of legitimately procured ebooks, it’s not that rare if you prioritize it.
But I agree, it’s not about hardware. There are plenty of super premium eink displays these days. I don’t even want integration with a eink reader at all. I’m happy reading off an OLED screen in a tablet. All I need is convenient library, management and display software that will handle both text and comic book formats.
Everybody seems to be trying to mimic the Kindle ecosystem with all its quirks and hardware dependencies when what I really want is book Plex.
It’s astonishingly easy tbh. I think this might be the main reason why they’re trying to stop you from getting the files on your PC.
Edit: that link is apparently promoting their own software, but the calibre plugin works very well, and as a bonus calibre is a great foss ebook manager.

If you download your books, how do you read them in other hardware? Aren’t they all drm locked?

My point is what’s the point of downloading kindle ebooks if they can only be read after connecting to the cloud or whatever anyway?Read the second part of your comment lol.
What other software?
