    Well what were you expecting? This is like when people install GrapheneOS on Pixels, because it’s still the best platform to have a Google-free device.

    It’s entirely possible that someone wants to buy a Kindle because of it being a great device, but not want to be tied to Amazon’s data mining exercises and/or buy books from them because of their behaviour as a publishing company.

      The article starts out explaining that other devices are not sold in Brazil; Kindle is the only option.

      I think he’s trying to point out that if someone were that concerned with trying to not be data mined by Amazon, they wouldn’t have an Amazon account to be able to order a Kindle in the first place.

      Why not buy a Kobo eReader? Just as good, and better in some ways.

      That said, I’m in the US, so I don’t know about other countries.
