I see posts talking about good BIFL items but I don't hear much about the other side of products that are bad or products you bought but don't even use.

My Amazon Kindle books. I figured out way later that I didn't actually own them! How absurd.

You can pirate books. Use Calibre and build your library. I have over 2000 books. Doesn't take much storage either.

And you can still read them on your Kindle, too. You just convert the epubs to the kindle format (using Calibre), then plug your Kindle into your computer. So easy, why would I ever buy a book again?

You can just send epubs to your kindle.
