News Summary

• Amazon is rolling out a new system software update this past week.
• The update closes a long-standing loophole for library books borrowed via Libby that lets you hold onto a book longer than you’d otherwise be allowed.
• Amazon has also tightened its digital rights management protocols, targeting how files are handled on older hardware like my Kindle Oasis.
• Amazon clearly wants users to only buy books through the Kindle storefront, and it is willing to put up massive digital walls to keep users from looking elsewhere.
