Hi All.. if you haven't seen the daily show interview with Jeff Bezos on the K2 check out this thread.

I just wanted to discuss one thing that he said.

"It is up to the publishers to specify if they want DRM or not."

So... that is NOT an Amazon mandate. You heard it from the horses mouth.

It should make you all see that Amazon is NOT as evil as you thought. Now, if he would sell Kindle books to anyone... at least the DRM free ones. Perhaps if the DRM free ones were available to everybody and more people bought them, publishers would see that DRM free was the way to sell more ebooks.
