We can't post links, we can't send them to our wiki to learn how.

This site is all about learning to get the most from your device. The library is a BIG part of that.

It's not a huge deal for me, but I can perfectly understand why it would be for many users who don't have the funds to purchase every book under the sun.

Amazon is limiting the usefulness of their device to appease publishers first and foremost. Publishers who wish to squeeze every cent out of their users. Publishers who constantly seek to expand upon copyright laws through government lobbyists.

Those publishers don't care about users, we are just dollars to them, as we are to Amazon. They'll stop at nothing if their bottom line is 'perceived' to be at stake. I say perceived because preventing this behaviour is ot necesarily increasing their sales. If anything it turns people off the Kindle, turns people off publishers who use DRM.
