This isn't readable with Desktop Adobe Digital Editions or with the Desktop Sony Library. So the problem seems to be with Adobe Digital Editions, rather than with Amazon. This is a strange oversight, since almost all 3-rd party PDF readers support passwords. Even some readers without a keyboard support passworded PDFs.
Passwords are not much protection for PDFs. There are "recovery tools" which will find the password for you, and if you already know the password many 3rd party PDF tools will produce a password-free version, see PDF & password. Based on the content, my guess is that putting password free copies on a KDX would be a problem in case the KDX is lost. The password is not much protection, but it is some protection. |

See http://www.pbs.org/mediashift/2009/0...eaders126.html The Kindles seem to hold resale value pretty well. The K1 is still going for $275 or so because of that SD slot and a user-replaceable battery. - Andrys http://kindleworld.blogspot.com |

if you are not European you do not have to pay the 19% tax on the Irex Digital Reader. Since European prices always include tax, you can deduct almost 95 Euros. Which makes it a lot more competitive. So the price is 587.39 Euro - 19% tax = Euro 493.60 = USD 686.-. Estimated shipping costs USD 50.-. So it is not that bad for what is offered.
