Part 3/8:
The tipping point came when I learned of the controversial practices of Amazon regarding digital book ownership. It was alarming to discover their ability to remove purchased titles, citing licensing issues, and that they could also suspend accounts under dubious allegations. This led me to question how much control I truly had over my digital library. The infamous case of Amazon deleting 1984 from users’ Kindles because they lost the rights made me realize that owning e-books through Amazon felt more like leasing than ownership.
As I researched more, the fear of losing access to the content I thought I owned grew. This realization hit hard; you could end up losing all your purchases overnight with little recourse.
