Great post Karl. I'm a bit chagrined because, after walking through the steps to download UESI to my Kindle, then not seeing any file, I simply looked it up on my Kindle, saw the modest US $3.50 price, and bought it thinking, "Karl will approve/appreciate this purchase."
And THEN I read your screed against all things corporate, particularly "muskazuckibezos" strain, and realized I had just struck a blow FOR the empire. Yikes!
Ha ha, you made them richer! Only kidding, in the grand scheme of things a $3.50 ebook won't make a difference. And some of it will still reach me and my distributor. Of course, if you wanted then you could just return it for a refund probably, and download the free copy. I'd always talk someone through the process, especially if any issues are due to my lack of adequate instructions! :-)
Your instructions were fine...I didn't want to put another "reader" app on my phone so went for the Kindle download using my "kindle email" (which I've never used before), but no file appeared in my Kindle library. I may find it somewhere weird eventually. I'm happy to spend the $3.50 for the lesson learned and the new ebook I'll get to once I'm done with "Wool". Congratulations on your event!
I've tried several times to report obvious scams on Facebook, but get nowhere as you say. Why do they bother to have a reporting system at all when it's completely useless?
Your choices are admirable and impressive ! Thank you for sharing - now that Facebook , twitter and Instagram are off my social roster I’m ready to go further !

Many thanks! And let me know what you think of Wool, I have never read any Hugh Howie books but have mentioned them to other people.

I know why. :-) It's so they can say "we have a robust reporting process" if ever it comes up in court.
Got to hate corporate slimers like Meta. :-)

Ha ha, well done! When approached one step at a time it is a lot more manageable. :-)
Very important points. I'm way behind in extracting myself from big tech, but do my bit.
And bonus points to Taylor Swift there.
The Taylor Swift bit probably irritates Republicans. :-)
