The only way I can make sense out of that sentence is if you are suggesting I do this:
  • Buy the book with the intent (in Amazon's eyes) of reading on my PC,
  • Use the swindle script to scrape the DRM off,
  • Use calibre to convert it to epub, and
  • Copy it to my reader

If that will work, then thank you. I had not realized this was possible.

Will Amazon sell a DRM-corrupted book for reading without a Kindle?
Is swindle reliable enough to depend on it in this scheme?
