Too many great options in terms of great ereading devices available out there right now to have to go through a "process". To me there is nothing compelling about the Kindle that you can't find elsewhere that would make me want to go through that every time. not worth it. JMHO. |
The DRM stripping occurred during the import to calibre which took an eyeblink and was in the paragraph before the image. The image merely shows the conversion (epub to mobi) and subsequent emailing to my K3.
To those (like me) who prefer a physical keyboard, the light weight, and long battery life of the Kindle, this demonstrates the ease of bringing any book from most any source into the Kindle world. It is a non-issue.
I suppose if I bought a lot of books every day I might tire of the workflow. Then again, it's so painless as to be a virtual non-issue.
I'm happy that you prefer your Nook. I personally don't like the sometimes erratic nature of touch screen navigation. I see it in my LG envTouch, I've seen it in the user videos of both the Sony and the Nook, and I've even seen some on the legendary iPad (which I have.)
I gladly give up any convenience of using a native epub device for the features and benefits the Kindle brings to me (in conjunction with calibre.) As usual, YMMV.
