Ok, I did not think Amazon wouldn't want to pay i think that from the way it seems Amazon built the Kindle (all in-house software wise) It seems unlikely they would want to take anything more then the drm parts of Abobes. I wonder if maybe eventually enough people talking about getting books from libraries will convince them it wont destroy their bottom line?
