Because I find absolutely nothing wrong with it whatsoever.
I do not have a double standard in these regards. I am simply exploring this issue from the "other side" as in this regard the justifications seem to parallel those.
It "wrong" to convert content you purchased from one format to another because you aren't licensed to...or so we are told.
But it seems that its OK in this case because it suits the needs of those that wish it and the same justifications seem...valid here.
Which is nuts
Not a single person here has been able to demonstrate that using a DRM'd mobi is allowed on a Kindle without changing what they purchased. Someone else even posted a note from another bookseller explain why this is the case. Its not authorized or permitted.
But yet, because we can do a workaround to remove the technical limitation in THIS case to protect what we've bought and use exercise "fair use" its all OK
Even the reasons for doing it are the same...but yet we are told time and time again its all "wrong".
Funny, that. I guess in this instance, you reall are buying the "words in the book" and not the "eBook" itself huh? In THIS case you can do with what you bought whatever you want :
