I believe the solution for all this Amazon Kindle shenanigan is not about buying a Kobo. It's about how we do not allow corporations to determine how we protest. Responsible consumption combined with political and social activism is a more sustainable way to challenge corporate power.

Your self-destruction doesn't hurt them. Your chaos won't convert them. They're so happy to rebuild it. You never really killed it. Excess ain't Rebellion. You're drinking what they're selling.
