On February 26th, Kindle customers will lose the ability to download eBook purchases directly to their PC. If you want to switch to a rival eReader brand in the future, I suggest that you use the soon-to-be discontinued “Download and Transfer via USB” feature to archive your Kindle library.

    Better Calibre integration.

    Custom shelves and book collections on Kindle.

      You literally just said the two things I wished Kindle allowed me to do natively.

      I hate the fact my Kindle store books will bundle by series, but my non-kindle books will not.

        Yea, I had like a 2nd or 3rd gen paperwhite and rooted it for this reason, but my partner’s wasn’t hackable until this moment. So now she can have it too.

      Ok, the latter might actually be worth it. I’ll have to look into that.
