And make very sure you don't try to read a book intended for one reading table at another reading table, as the key there won't unlock the lock.

And if one of your reading tables breaks, all the book for that reading table become useless, and you have to get new copies for Amazon to go with any new Amazon reading table you buy.

And, of course, Amazon books can't be read at a Sony reading table at all.

If it wasn't for a certain apprentice (Alf by name) who can tell you how to remove the locks entirely, I wouldn't be buying any ebooks from Amazon.
I stand corrected! Man, I didn't know I was actually sugar-coating it in my post...
