I love my Kindle, but will NEVER knowingly buy a DRM ebook from anyone. I also want a backup of everything on my HP Home Server where I have two terabytes. And Amazon does backups only on items bought through Kindle.

So I don't care if FictionWise or MobiRead is able to move a DRM ebook to the Kindle -- I won't buy it if it is DRM enabled. When I BUY something, I want to own it. I refuse to lease anything. I put in an 8 GB SDHC High Capacity memory card so I have plenty of space on my Kindle, as well on my home server.

Everytime I pass a closed music CD store I think this is what will happen to book publishers who are too stupid to learn by example what happened to music publishers. And for me, I hope it happens sooner rather than later.
