Amazon is making some big changes to its Kindle books, and you only have a few days to prepare. Here's everything you need to know before it's too late.

Starting Feb. 26, 2025 (via ZDNet) you will no longer be able to download copies of your Kindle books and use those files as a backup. After that date, you will only be able to download books via Wi-Fi or through the Amazon platforms.

Amazon is discontinuing a feature that lets you download your purchased eBooks to your computer and transfer them to your Kindle via a USB connection. Although few people take advantage of this, it still awful that we're losing one of the ways we can download our content.
