Does that mean more and more people are now cracking DRM book's protection and/or converting, regardless of the device's supported format? |
I haven't cracked DRM yet...but I am considering it. I don't like restricted formats. It chafes me greatly. I purposefully did not buy a Kindle because of Amazon's actions, DRM, lack of public library access and proprietary format. But I regularly use Amazon to buy (physical) books and other "stuff."
Most of the time the books I buy are already DRM free but there are a few books I want to purchase that are DRM locked with either Amazon or B&N. Now I have to make a decision: do I simply not buy the books out of protest or do I purchase the books and rip them apart for my own usage?
