Hey friends 👋, A few months ago, Amazon announced that Kindle users would no longer be able to download and back up their book libraries to their computers. Thankfully, I still have access to my library because I saw this video by Jared Henderson warning of the change and downloaded all ~400 of my books immediately. But for those that didn't, the only way for them to view the books they own is through a Kindle or the Kindle app. Which raises the question: do they even own those books? If you
