And this is why I only 'buy' eBooks if they're dirt cheap (<$5). Even then if I really enjoy them I'll buy a physical copy.

- dbcurtis 7y agoAgree, but to add to that, I buy ebooks that date quickly. If it is a software reference or investment analysys or something that is dated and irrelevant in 2 or 3 years, I don’t really care if it evaporates. Which I guess is feeding he beast.
- darkpuma 7y agoDRM on old model kindles is trivial to crack, the key is apparently derived from your kindle's serial number. For this reason, I transferred all of my kindle ebooks to my oldest kindle, and was then able to strip DRM from the entire library and convert to epub with Calibre+plugins. I wager there will probably come a day when Amazon refuses to send newly purchased ebooks to old models of kindles.
