Oops.


It’s for their paying subscribers. Welcome to monetization of content.


Welcome to a world without ads. Don’t like ads? Get use to paywalls.


This shouldn't get downvoted. If you don't like paywalls, and you don't like ads, what business model exactly should websites like medium follow?


“Originally intended as an anti-piracy measure, DRM now functions mostly as a way to lock customers into a given ecosystem, rather than reading or viewing or listening to their purchases wherever they want. It’s a cycle that has persisted for decades, and shows no signs of abating.”

This is precisely why I use Calibre with KyBook 3. You can import ePub and pdf formats and no DRM of course.


Submitted. Thanks for the work on this paulgb!!


Late to the party so I wondered about: 1. To confirm whether you were a victim of their "cyber security incident" you have to enter (6) digits of your SSN. Uh ... no. 2. We CAN still sign up for their one year credit-monitoring service and retain the right to legal action. 3. We should think about freezing our credit per FCC:
