Kindle was cracked at least a year ago.
I haven't actually used it, but from what I read it's not a crypto flaw allowing the data to be extracted, but more analogous to the "analog hole". The existence of on-screen readers allows software to be written that walks through the book a page at a time, and rips the content in that way.

- w1ntermute 16y agoAh, that's good to hear. Using the analog hole leaves you with a pretty poor copy of most digital files.
