All (or any?) authoritative sources? or just chatter around & about?
In case you haven't heard, the web if just chock-a-block with misinformation, misunderstood information, downright false information, and outright lies. Especially when it comes to complaints & conspiracy theories.
Now, I hope you have gone & bought all the *other* books-by-favorite-authors that you've been KU-borrowing instead, or hoping they'd (still) be on KU (which is by no means assured for any book on a forever basis).
If I had known Amazon was going to cancel Madison Faye I would have bought my favorites. As of Alexa Riley I would have bought more of her books. Yet without a notice I lost my opportunity.
and that is why I don't borrow books, I buy them. People who bought those books from Amazon can still download them. Even if they were still listed on Amazon, they could still have been pulled from Kindle Unlimited.

Just as with "free" streaming: You don't own it and it can go away any time you like. I have discs close on twenty years old for movies no longer available in any form but I can watch them when and as I please.

I still have an old VHS player as well as some special tapes which I long since ripped to digital & put on DVDs so all the relatives could have their own copies of the Old Family Films -- inherited from Grandpa on many reels of 16mm film, converted by the Photo Store (expen$ively!) to VHS), and dating from the 1920's. Did get rid of the films, splicer, etc years ago, though. :-)
yes, I do and for audio, we still have an 8-track, multiple turntables and a reel to reel player as well. When we were selling items on eBay, laser disk opera recording were very much in demand for the sound quality
I lost a beautiful Akai reel to reel to storm flooding in a below grade garage about ten years back. Still got a Technics turntable, the linear tracking kind but no place to set it. Got a few hundred 12" in storage in the garage. Some of which have never come out on CD, the rest I should pass on to someone or sell.

Wow, I've not seen those since the 80's.

ours is an Akai also. For reel to reel recordings, some of the most desirable are early rock and roll ones, ditto for 78s
