Yeah, you're missing the fact that Google Books has scanned versions of all its books. I much prefer reading the actual book as it was intended, instead of hampered flowing text versions (which is why I try to get PDF versions whenever I can).
Though I've been a faithful Kindle user (I've owned three) this alone has me thinking that I'll probably never buy another Kindle book. Though again, I didn't buy that many to begin with because of my aforementioned preference. Usually only when I couldn't get it through my preferred means.
By the way guys, I was able to download a PDF version of Alice in Wonderland from Google Books and it works great on the Kindle, but of course this is a public domain book so it most assuredly won't work with any pay books.
This is what rubs me about DRM. I'd be *happy* to pay for books if you didn't restrict where I can read it.
