Ricky I think you nailed it with many more words than I'd care to write... so I distill it down like so -
Did Amazon intend for us to use non-Amazon DRM books? No, obviously not. Do I care? Nope. It's my device. I have no agreement with them, nor am I obligated to use the device only to view Amazon's books.
Are authors or publishers hurt by this? No, I'm still acting under the terms set by my local library.
Is Amazon hurt? They'd have a hard time proving that they are.
Do they have any legal grounds to stop this practice? I don't know, I'm not a lawyer.
Will I still buy from Amazon? Yes.
If they try to stop me from reading *library books* I'll get rid of my Kindle and never buy anything from Amazon again.
