This is not a big deal at the moment since Amazon continues to make these books available in other formats that do not have encryption applied.
ETA: Publishers and authors who want their books to be available DRM-free would make a fuss if Amazon ever did away with the alternative formats, creating a big publicity problem. This is one reason why I don't think that it will happen any time soon.

Thanks. So if I want to make sure Hugh is free from locks use a device that doesn't support kfx.
