Device: ipod touch, ipad, and kindle 3
Yeah, reading the library books on a kindle does require removing the drm unfortunately. I tried reading them on my ipad using overdrive, but I just couldn't get into it as my ipad is heavier, the lcd screen and the fact that by the time i want to read, the battery might be too low. I resorted to stripping the drm to read them on my kindle. I know it is controversial, but I try to abide by the rules as much as I can. I only check out a book that I can read in the three week time frame, and I delete it after i am done. I know that this can be abused by some, but I want to read my books on my kindle and don't want yet another device to have. I also strip the drm from my purchased kindlebooks so I can back up to my computer and dropbox. I trust amazon for the most part, but I want to be able to use my books say if amazon went down, or stopped supporting kindle or i wanted to go to a different device. Probably not going to happen, but you can never be too careful, and I don't want to trust my backup to anyone but myself. This is off topic, but it is just my opinion.
