Didn't they already remove the option for a completely ad free prime video experience or am I hallucinating that? They have such a ridiculous hold on the e reader market I feel like it is just matter of the next down quarter.

They seem to own 75% of the market, and I think you can get pretty much every book on every device, right? Of course your existing library is locked-in; ideally, that'd be illegal.
Worse - they actually can remove books that you've purchased. Not only revoke license for future downloads - but actually remove them from your device.

Ironically they did that to 1984 book.

The “good news” is you can get a refund for titles that are removed. But you have to ask for it.
Will they adjust it for "inflation" before refunding?
