I may go on ebay and see if I can find a K1. But I wonder how much longer that will be supported? People may remember, when Amazon announced last year that it was working on "a way to organize your books" I emailed CS and asked about availability for K1. They replied, after checking, that K1 would also get the update. Well, that hasn't happened. So even if I get a K1, it may not work much longer. Which is exactly why I must choose between the update and using Amazon's kindle store. The very first thing I do after I buy a book is remove DRM. The book is never sent to anyone else, not even someone in my own family. But my next reader may not be a kindle. But Amazon continues to offer the best prices and availability (that is changing) on ebooks. I'm assuming it is their DRM that is changing, and the books I buy elsewhere will continue to accept my current method for removing DRM after purchase. It would be helpful if someone could confirm that.
Yes, I did just admit in writing that I remove DRM on books I have purchased. I do not believe the anti-piracy laws exist to lock me into using a single brand of reader. As a lawyer, I know that I would not make a good test case - bad facts make bad law. Much better to go after someone on the dark net.
