From there, my next purchase would logically be at Amazon's since they are cheaper. What's more, if I were still tempted to buy an epub elsewhere I would not, because my new PW would not read DRM epubs. From there, why bother buying more expensive epubs elsewhere and then have to bother stripping the DRM when I can with my new PW buy Amazon's cheaper books without DRM issues ? (It would be a win/win for Amazon as well as me the customer)
From there the pressure would be on the other companies to dump Adobe's evil DRM system or sell books at a higher price and with annoying DRM's (Which do you think the customers will choose ?)
Are you so sure I'm Adobe's bit** ?
Why do you think my Epubs are not DRM'd ...  |
But if your epubs are not DRMed then it is fairly simple to convert them and put them on a kindle is it not?
I know it would take 10 or 20 seconds of valuable time, but basically what you describe is pretty doable already for those that are even aware of DRM, and for those that aren't, well it would probably not be in Amazon's interest to draw attention to this type of procedure.
