In this video, I’m talking about something I never thought I’d be filming: Amazon suddenly canceled my account and I lost access to my Kindle and Audible content — books I paid for and had in my library. I walk you through what happened, what it looked like on my end as a regular reader who uses Kindle/Audible, and why this is the reminder we all need that “buy” doesn’t always mean “own” in the digital world. Then I get practical, because I don’t want you to learn this lesson the hard way. I break down the big risks (DRM, account flags, and how fast your library can disappear), what you can do right now to protect yourself, and the safer habits I’m focusing on moving forward: downloading what you’re allowed to download, keeping receipts/order history, and not relying 100% on one ecosystem. I also point you toward non-Amazon options and backup-friendly stores so your reading life isn’t tied to a single login.
