Dunno. I don't use those esoteric functions. I just read. (EDIT: is there a limit on how much you can clip? If there is, it's Amazon deciding how much fair use to let you have, not you deciding how much you need.)
But I will admit that some resellers have made some effort to ameliorate the effects of DRM.
Amazon is at the stage now that Apple was a few years back, where more than one, but a limited number of, devices can be authorized to access a DRMed file. Apple was crossplatform on that, IIRC, while Amazon is not. (EDIT: actually, it is to some extent - iPads for instance.)
In my view, this is a recognition of the point that I made.
