The way I look at it, eBooks that can be had via D&T are fair game.I don't see this as

I've future proofed (I hope) against the Android loophole someday closing by obtaining a Kindle Touch. I have tested it with an eBook on Prime that cannot be had via D&T and it worked. I obtained a KF8 file and was able to remove the DRM. I did return it and deleted the copies I had as I wasn't going to be reading it.

One question I have about KU/Prime eBooks. If I remove the DRM, make some edits to the CSS, and copy all the files I got from my KT with the eBook and placed it on my PW3 and read it there, would I still be allowing the author to get paid as long as I turned on WiFi when I was done?
