Uma novel chamada Diário de uma apotecária.

I think that's an awesome thing to celebrate. Merry Christmas to you!

Downvotes? Me confused.

TL;DR:

Effective January 20, 2026, verified purchasers can download the EPUB and PDF files of your confirmed DRM-free books.

-- from the linked Amazon page

A) you can still absolutely download and de-drm ebooks from Amazon.

B) this is only for books that the publisher selects as unrestricted.

Sure, better than nothing, but Amazon is absolutely not allowing you to move your "purchases" to another service. You remain locked into Kindles if you buy from Amazon and try to follow their rules.

firmwares

If you don't know why 'firmware' doesn't get an S, I can't trust much of what you say about firmware.

Has issue been fixed? Did you report it to vendor?

You purchase the book written 30 years ago. It still is as it was 30 years ago. The writer is dead.

Tomorrow Amazon decides some terms don't conform to today's society and changes the book you already purchased, changes the text. Without the writer's or anyone else's permission. Maybe even if the writer is not dead, who knows.

If you had bought a device you control or the physical book, you'd have kept the original thing you purchased.

The day after Trump has a Trump moment and decides you should only read the Bible. Amazon removes the book from your device. Maybe you're refunded, maybe not, but you have no book.

You cannot read books from open formats with it but only Kindle's. Possibly you cannot add books to it, only read books purchased from Amazon (I think they still allow you to add books via USB but maybe tomorrow you have a "surprise firmware update").

Disclaimer : I don't know your device, your habits, your values, or how to jailbreak it. I'm not telling you you should jailbreak it.

I'm giving you arguments for, from now on, try to purchase things that don't lock you in, that give you as much control as possible, and if you have no such choice, try to limit their ability to control you and / or minimize your risk of losses however you can.

Anything that restricts using an item I purchased is basically malware and must be removed. If I can't find DRM-free alternatives of a book I want to read, I'll rather pirate it than spend money on something the publisher/platform can recall or even change after I purchased it.

Thank you so much for posting! You are officially the first person to post anything other than me that is not a comment and I am truly appreciative of it. I believe this community would have far greater content if others would contribute as you have. I am happy others have posted comments, and look forward to those, as well.

Have a wonderful day and thank you again for the contribution!

My issue with color e-readers is the lag, tried one and it's almost impossible to immerse in a manga or something when it pauses for 1.5 seconds every page.
