Just wanted to mention the legal side...
Most users have a simple process:
- Buy the book from your favorite source. Amazon definitely is a great address for that = huge variety and often the lowest price.
- Copy the file to your PC. Not only download on your reader, but download the file on your PC as well.
- Strip the file from DRM = eliminate the copy protection.
- Should your provider cease business, you still have the file and later can convert to another format.
This still might be illegal in your home country, But as long as you don't share the file: How should anyone bother or even know about it?
But of course there's your average file sharer: Spreading files around, that still might carry his credit card info, name and other info in the file header...
