Good horror story. Should leave an average kindlecuck trembling for his prescious collection of poorly formatted MOBI shitfiles.
Unfortunately for you, Jeff, my Kindle is my property forever. I've jailbaited and buckbroken the shit out of that reader, and there's nothing you can do to cuck me now.

>>22038723
In what society is money not exchanged for goods you want?

>190 files found
Kill yourself, OP

>>22038741
I just disconnected mine from the internet and have left it offline for the past three years. How did you jailbait/buckbreak (kek, btw) yours?

Guide https://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=346037
Might be confusing, feel free to ask for details. New devices with latest firmwares can't be jebaited anymore because this makes Jeffy very sad, but since yours has been offline for years, it has to be eligible. I'd advise to manually upgrade to 5.14.2 and follow the guide if you decide on it.
Afterwards, autoupdates can be blocked forever. Various apps can be installed - it's Linux, after all. I use Syncthing to sync the entire library with my other computers, and Koreader to read the books. I also pray to the Amazon god, thanking him for granting me full control over this marvelous device free of charge.

Non-university public libraries literally don't stock anything that isn't

OP, libraries are for the dirty poors.

>>22040102
they dont like this at my local library when im requesting like 2-3 books a week from the state library

they say it costs too much i think they just dislike me

>>22038466
Imagine not having books on hand to reference as you study. Pleb.

>>22039407
>gets filtered by Beginner's Quiliting (1992)
many such cases

>>22038506
Lol fag. You arent supposed to return the books

>public library hates liberals
dare I say based?

>>22040102
Every single book on my to-read list is unavailable in every library in the greater metropolitan area. The only exception is Stephen Kotkin's books.

>>22043093
He's a libtard worth reading.

>>22038466
Unless you have a really good university library, or just so happen to live near the central library of a big city (even this can be bad), a library will never have near anything specific you're looking for. Sure there is likely plenty of good stuff, and no I'm not doing a fucking inter-library loan. I will buy books new, I will buy books used, I will buy books online, I will go to to my shitty branch library, I will read PDFs, I will do whatever I want.

Anons I hope you realize that you're outing yourselves as monolingual when you say to just use ebooks.

>>22045124
Anon, i hope you realize that you are outing yourself as retarded when you can‘t even find ebooks in different languages and when you think that everyone‘s first language is english.

>>22045132
I don't think everyone's first language is english, but if you think pirating ebooks is a solution you have not really ever tried looking for non-english works, and so I must assume these people are english monolinguals, because the alternative is that they do not read in their native language, and that is too repulsive to consider

>>22045147
Idk what you are talking about. I am easily able to find books in german, french and russian. There are no other languages that have any books worth looking for. And you only run into issues if you‘re trying to find some language-specific newer pop authors. The classics are all there.

>feel like buying a new book after a long while
>go check bookdepository
>it's shutting down
well I guess I'm just going to continue to pirate my shit then, fuck you.

>>22038466
i went to my local library (just moved back to small rural town of about 5,000) and there are absolutely no classics, or even non-fiction in subjects i'm interested in. some standouts are:
books on horsemanship
books on gardening
nutrition books
the rest is children's/women's/large print
