This blog post being on a .de url is somewhat ironic. The German ebook market is quite different. You can easily get DRM-free ePubs of most current books in German, most of the time only with a watermark. I don't know how large Amazon's market share is (I guess it is still very big) but you have other, viable options besides them. If you really want to read on a Kindle (it is a very well designed piece of hardware after all, only the software is gruesome) jailbreaking it and putting koreader on it, is an option: https://github.com/koreader/koreader/releases/ https://github.com/koreader/koreader/releases/ But also tell the publishers whose books you wanted to buy that you would have bought from them if you got it DRM free. I can't understand why so few publishers to this. Their margin would much bigger and Amazon's DRM is just token security. It's easily broken. Calibre does this automatically for crying out loud).
