It's easy to get a copy of a Kindle book with the desktop app. Currently, there's no way I know of to strip out the DRM, though, so it's of limited use.

The general consensus among people who aren't obsessed with The Orange Dragon is that serifed fonts are easier to read on written documents, sans serifed easier on screen. Since the State Department has to have printed copies of many, many things, the change back to a serifed font makes sense.
And isn't a big deal.
In the end, though, it's just another example of how Trump is THE MASTER TROLL of all time, playing his usual game of "go chase the stick, good doggie, isn't that a nice stick, go chase the stick" with irrelevant shit that TDS sufferers will obsess over, and not notice what he's actually up to (that they could actually generate support over if they noticed), like the half million deportations (plus 2-3 times as many "self deportations").
It's hilarious, the way he plays the news media like a fucking Stradivarius, with their enthusiastic cooperation.
What's the catch...
"This move may actually incentivize authors to apply DRM to their ebooks."
Those who actually advocate that should go first, yes, in a show of true leadership and commitment to their cause.
Not my cause, however, no matter how stupid you are when the truth bites you in the ass.
You ignore the possibility that 3) Calibri is actively bad, and therefore is worth the time and money to change back (both of which are minimal).
I'm sure someone already committed multiple felonies would be deterred by that possibility.
What's the fix there, genocide?
Yes.". It is increasingly apparent that is exactly the goal.
Soldiers who take their oaths seriously, and remember their (mandatory, annual) training on disobeying illegal orders.
Hint: if the value of something hinges on the fact that the factory only goes so fast, you might not want to bet the retirement on them not spinning up another factory.
Given the boom and bust cycle of fads like this, you also might not want to best they will, since they would then be stuck with some very expensive printing capacity they have no use for, but have to pay for anyway.
It's a delicate business, and their obligation is shareholder value.
And the trailers before the movie starts will be replaced by ads, and not (only) ads for other movies.
You know, like what's been happening in theaters for years.
Why isn't everyone else?
Because they're not allowed to use people. Even ones they don't like.
The people at the top of the pyramid (scheme) want you to believe that, but it's not true..
Particularly the "move all production out of the country" part, which accounts for 20% of Apple's total production (and it's growing), and $20 billion worth of iPhones (85% of which is exported).
End users will put a lot of pressure on the government if they can't get iPhones. The economic loss will put more.
Since red Kool-Aid blue Kool-Aid both taste like bitter almonds, yeah, there's no difference. And that's been the case for at least a couple of decades.
