> [if] you are using something like a Kindle you are licensing content. If Amazon goes away, I wouldn't be surprised if your content does too. I break DRM on all the Kindle content I buy. If I couldn't break the DRM, I wouldn't buy it. I also try to support non-DRM books by buying them preferentially. Baen books, for instance. There are other non-DRM publishers. And no, I do /not/ share. I have a Kindle DX for reading papers (e.g., from the ACM). I haven't tried reading conference papers on a tablet (e.g., iPad) mainly because I don't have one, and while I wonder if the experience is better, I like the fact that the Kindles don't have to be recharged every day. The fact that I can go a week or more without recharging makes them a lot more book-like to me.
