I see what he's getting at. To run it through bkrpr you would need to be able to scan it. Or at least be able to take a good quality picture of the screen without glare. That's the only way to avoid the "unless they are Topaz" issue. I have no conscience issues with format shifting anything I buy for my personal use on my PC or another device. And since I don't trust Amazon any further than I can throw them, I won't buy anything I can't format shift into a more archival format and have backups. It's been theorized that Topaz hasn't been hacked not because it's invulnerable, but because it isn't seen as widespread enough to warrant the effort. I'm not enough of a hacker/coder to know if that's true or not, and I don't know if I'm willing to take the chance that Amazon won't make Topaz their main format, it turns out to be uncrackable, and then I'd end up with a bunch of books I can only read on an iPod Touch. Plus be stuck having to trust Amazon that if that hard drive on the iPod fails that I can get to them later.
