I literally just installed caliber recently. Are they following my every move or something? Trying desperately to prevent other "near techky" people from leaving the market place?

Calibre is open-source: https://github.com/kovidgoyal/calibre
So if it had telemetry, we would have heard about it.
No I mean, now that I got caliber they block book downloads.
Ah, gotcha. Yeah, I've been in that position a few times, actually; though usually it's after I put it on a todo list. I was planning to switch to Linux, then Microsoft made Windows intolerable to use. I was wanting to buy a new laptop, then Tr*mp started a trade war. I had "back up my Amazon ebooks" on a todo for several months, and then this news comes out.
It's like all of these companies and groups have decided to push me into doing stuff I wanted to do anyway.
I’m sad that the Kindle Oasis doesn’t get a new model. Mine has served me well for the past few years, but it’s starting to show its age.

I wonder how long before this US administration makes "copyright infringement" a felony...
🤔
And then copyrights all pending legislation...
