I just don't understand the gripe if you're going to consciously use tools that are specifically designed to control what you can and can't do. Bottom line is, if you're using Windows, OSX, Adobe's wares (ADE and the rest of the DRM gang), and others, you're really not in control of anything. By using these tools, you're at the mercy of what these vendors *allow* you to do. If you can't do something, why complain? If you want real empowerment, you first have to first free yourself of the digital handcuffs that you've bound yourself with. Get rid of your Windows OS, your Apple OSX, your Adobe ADE for starters. Stop buying DRM-enabled products. Install a free software operating system like GNU/Linux or a bsd (GNU/Linux is best due to the copyleft nature of the GPL). Install only free software applications (Calibre is great) and spend your money on DRM-free books formatted as epub.
