What is this "download & transfer option" ?<p>Is it related to the "send to kindle" stuff (<a href="https://www.amazon.com/sendtokindle" rel="nofollow">https://www.amazon.com/sendtokindle</a>) ? I'm using this to pass epub directly (enabling wifi just in time)
The title and article is confusing. It says this:<p>"they are finding out that the new [Kindle] models are mysteriously missing the download and transfer via USB option for purchased ebooks from the content page at Amazon."<p>The option to download and transfer via USB option is on Amazon.com website, and doesn't appear to be related to the new Kindles at all. So it's not clear to me what the new Kindles themselves are missing. I have a new Kindle Paperwhite Signature Edition that was just released, and I have books that I "acquired" (the word Amazon uses on their website) from Amazon on September 5 and September 16. I have the option to download and transfer them via USB on the website.<p>Can anyone clarify what option has actually been removed?
I didn't even it could do that to start with. But then again I don't use it because I don't trust it. It was a gift.<p>I still read tangible real books. They don't need backing up and you can <i>give</i> them to people when you're done.
