I bought my first ereader this summer and got a Kindle and hated it. Returned it and got a Kobo. Its fantastic, I can just load my ebooks like it's an external drive. I dont have to email all my ebooks to Amazon just to get them on my own device.

    I'll be switching to kobo next time round, but I've never not been able to dump books onto my kindle by usb. I do it with my phone over USB sometimes. Since when has not doing that been a thing?

    Since at some point recently. You can still email files (epub not mobi now) to your kindle, but usb transfer doesn't work any more.

    Have you got a link to more info about it? I can't find details anywhere.
