>I don't see how that could be the only reason for ditching your kindle. What other reasons do I need besides cost and true ownership? What an odd response. Do you think i have some ulterior motive for ditching a device I paid $260 for? I literally handed a book to a friend last night. She doesn't own an ebook reader. Now she has the book and can hand it off to someone else. My father doesn't own an ebook reader and I give him plenty of books. Although now that I think about it I should probably just give him my kindle so he can increase the font size (an actual use case!) and stop leaving reading glasses all over his house. Your response is essentially "Just torrent the book" because stripping the DRM off an ebook and emailing it someone is just the same as that person going to the pirate bay for content.
