At the end, the legitimate users suffer from not getting the updates the dev would have otherwise developed. That's why every time more hacking is done, more development time ends up to prevent hacking.
I think the Amazon Kindle app needs a Windows 10 update. And its not just page numbers, its the same with locations: I have no way to tell where I am. All these hacking on Amazon services are a cost to the infrastructure investment. Its literally just pages but without any way to know if Im on page 1 or page 100 or page 500. However, those devs are being employed do participate in a sound business. I think most devs would say they rather develop something useful the users then go spend time to play cat-mouse game with hackers.
Someone out there trying to run a business by providing its customer value added services, others must come along to stick it to the man to say, "I know I can just get a free ride". In the past, I’ve seen numbers ranging from. The standard book page for books published by traditional publishing companies ranges from 250-300 words. Font size and other factors impact this number. Why are you getting a free ride on people who are buying books from Amazon to subsidizes those who are not. According to a survey of over 900 authors, there is an average of 233 words per page in a book on Amazon for nonfiction or 280 for fiction novels. But an earlier comment regarding tricking the Amazon to sync Last Page Read on books that are not from the Kindle store is so malicious. Suggest that to kindle2-feedback Your counter argument on not buying a book after browsing the store is not valid, Amazon will take into the cost of bandwidth used by your browsing as part of the cost do online business. If you are willing to pay for this service, that's another story. Am I ripping Amazon off when I browse in their store and then don't end up buying the item? That said, how much "CPU" time are we really talking about here? Probably less than it takes for me to log into my Kindle account and browse the store and not buy any thing. or go with some Flickr like annual membership price which I think is $25 a year. I have been saying since day 1 with my Kindle that I would be willing to pay to be able to add my own content to my media library. They should see this as an opportunity to provide this service. It seems to me that amazon is ignoring the fact that people will use their Kindles with content NOT from the Kindle store. Would you please stop trying to rip Amazon off by using their server and cpu time to sync books not bought from Amazon? It is one thing if Amazon offers it but if you are modding your book headers to trick the current program to waste Amazon cpu time. When Amazon creates a sync service, they are adding value to the books that they are selling.
