This is the only drawback I personally can see at the moment - I'm glad it prevents me from loaning books (which I don't do anyway, I've lost quite a few doing that
), but I'm a bit of a gadget freak and I can't see me continuing to be content with my cybook - the thought of what may be available in the next few years
Which of course means I won't be able to read them because they'll be linked to another device.
So, is it wrong of me to learn how to strip a DRM and make that book available to any future devices?
