Many on this board may be savvy to DRM. I was not.

The DRM restriction was not disclosed to me until I had a Kindle that had to be replaced.
(Periodicals only could be read on the Original Kindle downloaded to)

This disclosure should have been made Before purchase of periodicals.

I am sure that there are 1000's of periodical users that don't know this and never did.

DRM is to protect against UNauthorized use and such, not legitamte use by the original purchaser.

I was the purchaser NOT the Kindle that happend to be registered to me.
