Go away. Post here and you will be reported to the police.

First, one has to commit a crime to be reported, and more importantly, books in the public domain do not infringe upon copyright. So perhaps you should go away and crawl back under your rock, OR offer something positive to the discussion?

For some crimes, the attempt is also a crime.

For books in the public domain, there are more than enough sources
already available.

Wow. You've been such a *TREMENDOUS* help today! Hope you sleep well in your black sackcloth / coal lined sleeping bag.

I've had a wonderful day dealing with an Amazon Fire 10, a Samsung tablet, and the Samsung is FAR friendlier / fewer restrictions. The Libby Library app downloaded *and installed* ACCIDENTALLY on the Samsung, while the Amazon Fire *refuses* to allow ANY software that doesn't come from the Amazon App store, *forcing* me to use the "Overdrive" app.

Meanwhile, as a newbie to this e-book environment, I may throw out an occasional question or two. Apparently, Adobe PDF is still in use as a means of e-book distribution! (*That* was mildly surprising!)

No-one forces you to do anything. It is well known that Amazon uses
proprietary software, have their own format for eBooks, and so on. If
you don't like it, don't buy their products.

Sensible eBooks are in ePub format. Anything else doesn't really make
sense.
