If you obtain a book on the High Seas, is it safe to use Kindle as the Epub reader? Would it phone home to Amazon that you have an “otherwise obtained” book?

    Late to the thread, but it’s worth saying how convenient it can be to find a book online and just email it to the kindle, no cables or arcane software wrangling needed.

    If you don’t mind having a generic cover and occasional janky formatting, it feels like a bit of wizardry every time I track down something I want to read and it’s there on my e-reader in a matter of minutes.

    This also applies to checking out titles from the library, assuming they’re not wait-listed. Even after years of reading this way, it still tickles me whenever I can just pick a book and be reading it without getting out of my chair.
