I literally cannot focus when I'm reading online for some reason + I love looking at my books on my bookshelf, it makes me feel smart

This is a good point and one of the best parts of physical media. However, Ebook DRM can be circumvented pretty easily with tools like Calibre and many non-arrr sources of ebooks don't use DRM in the first place. That being said, it is safe to assume that anything from the on-device marketplaces will be loaded with DRM (and very, very overpriced).

Is there a way to crack the latest Amazon drm yet?
