That's about where I am on the issue. The stuff is invisible since it is data that hides in the file, but what if I want to save my books to CD so I have a backup copy of my own? With DRM I'd think it would be a lot harder to have a usable file in the future if something happened to my Kindle. I'd be right back where I started from probably. Having to redownload books so I could read them. Plus if for some reason Amazon pulls a book (like with 1984) what is a person to do? Having my own backup copy on disk makes it more secure for my own use in that way I think. And with things like Mobipocket not working on Kindle due to DRM even though both are owned by Amazon I find it a great inconvenience.
