The bottom line for me and most readers is this.

If I buy your book, I expect to keep it for as long as I want to and to put it on ANY/ALL readers, or tablets that I have now and in the future. If it has drm, I'm going to strip it off so that I can put it on any readers/tablets that I have now & in the future. I have NO intentions of sharing it, uploading it, or selling it. It is MY own personal copy that I intend to keep for ME ALONE! This is the same way I treat my paper books.

Nor do I intend to rebuy the damn book should I change to a different reader. aka Apple/Amazon.

If I'm not interested in your book, I'm not going to buy it, pirate it, upload it, or do anything else with it since I'm not interested in it.

As far as I'm concerned these are MY rights as the legal, rightful owner of this legally purchased book.

If you disagree with this...too damn bad because "Frankly my dear, I don't give a damn!"

And there is absolutely NOTHING anyone can do to me for it.

Ken & Catlady, terrific posts & right on the money!
