So, let me make sure I understand this correctly:
If you buy eBooks from Amazon that are encrypted for your specific Kindle, and you download those eBooks to your computer (in encrypted form), then you CANNOT sideload these onto your Kindle (still in encrypted form) and expect your Kindle to decrypt them so they can be read? I don't understand why, after the eBooks have been encrypted for your Kindle, that you need any contact with Amazon, let alone an active account, to read your Ebooks (on the Kindle that they were originally encrypted for). If your Kindle breaks and you buy a new one, yeah, I can understand how you would be screwed in that situation.
I never thought you needed to have an active Amazon account AFTER you had downloaded your eBook purchases. But you WOULD be limited to only be able to use them on the Kindle that they were originally encrypted for.
If this need for an Amazon account it true, then WOW Amazon, your DRM sucks! I'm glad I always remove DRM from every eBook purchase immediately. But I never realized that this was strictly necessary if I were willing to limit myself to only the Kindle that the content was originally encrypted for.
