And it wouldn't really solve anything, because Amazon probably wouldn't support Adobe's DRM anyway. So we'd have another flavor of ePub DRM to contend with.
And Derek is angry because B&N won't fix his bought-off-eBay Nook's broken screen, not because they won't honor a warranty. B&N doesn't fix screens as part of the warranty, PERIOD. In fact, they don't repair Nooks, they send new ones. I have no idea what Amazon's Kindle warranty includes, but I'd be curious to know if the 6 broken Kindles he's had repaired had screen damage, or other problems.
And yes, there are people who don't contact the manufacturer and put it up on eBay and buy a new one. They have deeper pockets than mine  |
Hold the presses! Sending an email direct to Leonard Riggio has resulted in an RMA!
