Thanks guys. Not really sure what to do then. I would like to convert my existing books I bought legally, but it involves stripping the DRM and changing format......
I am not worried about Amazon and privacy as such, as I have shopped there for years so they know pretty much everything about my reading and shopping habits anyway, I am just concerned about getting into trouble for stripping DRM from books I bought legally from elsewhere. I also realise that it is probably not wise to put any darknet ones on there as that would raise alarms....
I think I read somewhere that they can only back up and sync bookmarks, annotations and notes to your account from books you buy from them, which implies they don't collect info on other ebooks on your reader. Is this true, or do they record all of them anyway, but can only sync theirs?
Honestly, I am not concerned about the privacy aspect, just what they do collect about my other books and if its best not to put others on there, unless they are bought drm free. Last thing I want is to load my kindle then get into trouble for stripping and converting books..............
My sensible head says Amazon don't care about any but their own books, but just wondering if they see the rest and feel obliged to report DRM stripped ones (highly unlikely)
Wow this Kindle gets complicated LOL I do wish to make use of Whispernet, my main reason for getting the Kindle is the ease of buying and downloading books. Just don;t want to do anything bad and get in trouble, best to check first
Does anyone know the legality of drm stripping of purchased books in the UK?
