Someone with a kindle and a camera can snap photos and stick them in a PDF, perhaps even with OCR. There, cracked...

Or automate it in a hidden "kindle simulator", with a nice DIY candy GUI wrapper. If a device can open its own "proprietary" content, then it is not really "protected" (except by draconian DRM laws, anyway).

If you eyeballs can see something, so can a camera, and cameras are getting better all the time (even better than our eyes).

There is software now to cut keys using only a photo of somebody carrying keys hanging off their belt. Really. Cameras are that good. Certainly good enough for OCR...
