It's a pragmatic choice, not an all or nothing situation. (I briefly thought JSWolf understood this earlier in this thread.) |
Why would you register KindleForPC and nt register your Kindle?
Why would you register at Adobe to be able to use RMSDK (ADE) with DRM and not register a Kobo?
What is it you are giving away by registering a Reader vs registering to be able to read/buy eBooks with DRM?
