gollark: It actually seems like the whole setup handling them is deliberately byzantine and overcomplicated to stop this sort of thing.
gollark: I am annoyed by how hard Amazon makes it to get the ebooks I bought (realistically, bought a license to legally) out of their walled garden and onto Calibre in some sort of actually standard format. Apparently I can't get any sort of usable files off the Android app, and I've lost my actual Kindle hardware, so I've had to download some ancient version of their Windows client and run it in Wine.

gollark: It *would* reduce the habitat available to the many, many very horrible animals there.
