People should have learned thier lesson when Amazon deleted books from thier kindle without permission.

I lost my Apple Music previously. I learned, I didn't own any books on Amazon kindle, I used a shared Kindle Unlimited account.

My concern now is whether I can use it as an ebook reader without Amazon, without directly accessing someone else's Amazon account.

My kindle I paid $25 for used. Still going to be a pretty good deal if it's functional for my purposes.

Most of whats on my kindle is epubs I downloaded for free. You can still buy ebooks and use the USB to add them to the kindle hard drive. For me the kindle is more about the ability to store a library of books on it I can pick up and read anytime, instead of shelves full of books Ill have to move, although I realize other people are using them differently

It's just sort of a pain in the ass since I don't use a proper computer.

That explains. Most kindles have a built in web browser, though. Maybe you can use that to download them.
