Amazon Kindle users are going to lose this popular PC feature very soon

The company informs Kindle users about removing a useful USB feature.

Amazon appears to be removing the ability to download and back up Kindle books to PCs starting February 26. The feature widely dubbed “Download & Transfer via USB” will be removed starting February 26 (via Android Police). The company; however, doesn’t mention why it is removing the feature but as How-to Geek points out, it appears it is to lock consumers in the Kindle ecosystem of devices and not allow side loading of books.
