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.

Interesting. Didn't realize Kindle DRM was that restrictive. At least with Adobe ADEPT, once you've downloaded a book, you just need to get keys for every table but the books you can easily move between tables (even using good ol' Windows Explorer). No need to request a new set of books.
