But if history is any indication, changes to the DRM scheme (or just updates that break various aspects of the tools) for the various Kindle for * applications have been much more frequent and aggressive than the changes to the DRM scheme of files intended for the stand-alone devices themselves.
Who knows? Use what works for you until it doesn't work anymore.  |
Thanks for your reply, and FWIW, I hope that everyone here will find a workaround suited for their use. I do buy paper and ebooks from Amazon, but if they threaten too much trouble, I'll look for other alternatives. I don't mind buying books, but I insists that I be allowed to convert and use them in the future without jumping through hoops!
