I guess that I should have been doing that, too. The great majority of the ebooks that I buy are from Amazon, though; is it possible to strip the DRM from them? It seems that I have heard "no."

I hate to take the time to have to go through all of the hassle of stripping DRM just for one ebook, much less to go back and go through all of the DRM ebooks in all of my libraries to be able to make sure that my ebooks aren't (I was about to write "stolen," but I didn'tfor legal reasons) taken from you. There should be legal protections to keep unscrupulous businesses from doing that!

This is one MobileReader who is beginning to sour on ebooks altogether. Perhaps other people are beginning to feel the same way--did you notice the thread in this forum whose title is, "sales of consumer ebooks down 17%, sales of physical books up 8%." I wonder if shenanigans like some ebook companies are pulling isn't part of the reason.
