    Did the firmware expire or something? How would it know to prevent USB transfers if it’s the same OS as before? If you have to have it online when you’re uploading or something I guess that would be the way. I’ve never owned a kindle so I’m not really sure. My old af nook still takes books through the micro USB slot fine.

      They’ve misunderstood. They’re referring to the function where customers could download the book files directly instead of in the app, and then transfer the files to their kindle.

      At least with kindle books bought from amazon you have to use their own software to transfer. They stopped the old app working which could download books to your computer so now they just have to check if the kindle it is connecting to is attached to your account and on a software version they support.
