I happen to rarely read recently published books, so I paid for an ebook a single time. In a series of eight books, each of them had an appendix saying “this file was formatted on purpose for torrenting. The estimated cost of producing the book is roughly 5.27$. If you liked it here’s my bank account and my website if you’d like to buy the book on paper”.
Yeah. Way worse that the cup thing or the Japanese eel stuff or the others. That crap still haunts me
Wait, in the last thread it was a bank
I don’t think you can make up these kind of things
I think this was it https://reddit.com/r/confessions/s/cJFm6eRXMi (it’s not for a weak heart)

There’s a hedgehog in the garden. BUT IT’S NOT THEIR ONE!
My best guess is hemorrhoid followup - what would you do, ask your neighbor to look and comment on your butt?
But it’s also about the MacBook – the series sold 10 years ago had replaceable HDDs and memory units, I upgraded the disk twice in the lifetime and fixed the disk cable three of four times (they had a funny design so that you had to break the cable several times to fit its place neatly). The current laptops are sold with every component glued/soldered to place, and this is getting a trend everywhere. It probably started with phone batteries: my first phone (Ericson GA628 with an exchangeable front panel!) had a battery you could replace in two seconds, now even 2500-3000EUR laptops are considered single-use throwaway items, it’s insane.
Wazzup
I use a Kindle, but never bought a single book from them. I mostly use their transfer method for convenience instead of looking for a cable. As for books, I downloaded a few gigs of ebooks in html/RTF/doc format well before e-ink was invented, and use those with calibre to convert to epub. Pdfs are rather suboptimal for ebooks.
