We are always talking about this peculiar monopoly of amazon in ebook retail business that is rare to see in other industries. Why do people fear amazon ?
Some people here are claiming they can break any DRM, i feel tempted to create a simple DRM client - server demo and give them for a try. I really wonder how you can do!!

DRM isn't the reason people buy books from Amazon. Most people don't even know about DRM. People buy from Amazon because they like the devices, they like the customer service, they like the Kindle store, etc. DRM is not on that list. Amazon really isn't a monopoly, there is still B&N and Kobo.
If there was an unbreakable DRM,
then why isn't anyone using it? I'm not saying I could break DRM, but that's not the point.
Someone could, and it only takes one. If no one breaks your DRM, it's because no one is interested in the content.
