- cirotix 14y agoMinus the fact that there are some DRM in the Kindle books which is rather anoying. PDF is an open standard, the Kindle format is not.
- kika 14y agoKindle DRM doesn't annoy me at all. I'm not annoyed by just the existence of some technology, I'm annoyed if this technology hurts my ability to do what I want to do. I do want to read books on iPad, iPhone, Mac, PC and Kindle. I'm able to. If I wanted to steal books I could have been annoyed, but I don't want to.

- goldfeld 14y agoThat case was so ironic I thought you were referring to George Orwell there for a minute.
