I have another thought about Amazon's AI "ask this book"-feature.
It means
- scanning every book into a database
- analyzing every book for plot, characters, descriptions etc.
- storing reader questions and answers
It's a training ground.
In other words, they are using our books and the readers' interest to train their OWN WRITING BOT.
Why are they doing this?
To cut out the creators. Just like Spotify, Amazon wants to produce AI books that sell.

What else can you, dear reader, do?
There's quite a lot, even if you're not yet willing to give up your Kindle.
1) Buy direct. Buy direct, buy direct, buy direct.
It's really easy to put books on your Kindle that you bought elsewhere. I just wrote a blog post to teach you that:

So there's no need to give up your Kindle just yet. But show interest in eReaders that are open source and let you read all books.
