I do use Amazon, but I live in the Czech Republic. There's no Czech Amazon either (although the company has a big office here.) But I don't buy ebooks, at all, from anyone, so I don't care. I use Calibre to sync stuff to/from my Kindle DX, or just mount it as a filesystem and copy it in manually. https://calibre-ebook.com/ > When I was looking for a new reader, all I could find was the 6" crap > on the web, thus my kindle statement.
