Let me clarify that. Suppose you lose or break both of your Kindles. Suppose as well that a new, non-Kindle reader comes out with features compelling enough that you buy it. What happens to your Kindle content?
Right now, for DRMed content, you are
locked into the Kindle platform. That may be fine for you now, but will it always be?
I want to download content
once, and read it on whatever I happen to have. So I want a format supported on a broad number of platforms, and I want DRM (if I
must have it) which will let me change platforms at will.
I refuse to be locked into a platform by DRM.
