- Scenario 1: I buy a book from Amazon, download it to my PC, and read it on my PC using the Amazon provided program "Kindle for PC".
- Scenario 2: I do everything in scenario 1, then strip DRM, convert the book to epub, and read it on my ereader, sitting comfortably in my sofa.
ottischwenk, please explain how scenario 2 steals from the author!
I don't like reading long texts on my PC, so if scenario 2 stops being available, I go to:
- Scenario 3: The book I want is only available on Amazon, and Amazon doesn't publish in formats compatible with my ereader. I don't buy that book.
That is, obviously, not a better outcome for the author.
