I know it's my own fault for using them, but why does #Amazon make it so hard to buy stuff for the #Kindle these days?
First they killed off subscribing to series when they killed off Comixology, then you can't buy books through the Amazon App (because it's digital content and Apple/Google would take 30% of the fee), then every time I eventually try and buy through the browser (and manage to stay in it), the purchase goes through "additional verification" and doesn't complete #Enshittification
