Yeah, I know that. But it's the *principle* of the thing. Having to break the law to continue to read a book I purchased. Maybe I need to submit a comment to that copyright office site (referenced here, asking that Secure Mobipocket be added to the list.

update: Done. I have asked the US copyright office to consider legalizing circumvention of the DRM of Secure Mobipocket, to preserve the first sale doctrine (i.e., unless they change the law, I won't be able to register the Mobipocket ID of a computer I buy next year, and read a book I bought last year).

By the way, the correct link for submission of comments is: www.copyright.gov/1201/comment-forms/comment-submission.html
