Digital Ownership is an ILLUSION | Amazon Kindle Controversy
Spencer’s Adventures
@spencers-adventuresAbout
This is a channel by Spencer Campbell about frugality, anti-consumerism, and appropriate use of technology. I love road tripping, van life, and simple living. If I review a product it is because I think it will be a truly Buy-It-For-Life (BIFL) item and it will be the last time you'll buy that item. I want long-lastingness and quality from the items I consume, and I will speak to that. I am also interested in alternative lifestyle options and my intention is to provide information around these topics in an authentic way. Partnership Inquiries: [email protected]

Video Description
You paid for that eBook—but do you actually own it? Amazon just removed the ability to download Kindle books as files, making it even harder to control the content you buy. Kobo is better by comparison, but the major players in the eBook industry are still locked into restrictive DRM while the music industry has moved on. So why are digital books stuck in the past? Today I'm talking about what’s happened, why it matters, and what this means for the future of digital ownership.
