I, myself, an law-abiding. Well, mostly. My tags are still Missouri tags, even though I have lived in AR now for over 2 years, and the tags expired in Aug 08.
Even so, I'm not a criminal-type. Hoever, I see nothing wrong in breaking a monopolistic hold that Amazon seems to take to. Is what
they are doing, law-abiding? What is the difference between law and fairness? Monopolies are against the law, and Amazon's Kindle-only book deals seem very much monopolistic to me. Hence, Amazon is breaking the law.
Cracking the format in order to share the book onto multiple readers should not be considered criminal. Look at the Jailbreaking of the iphone. There are named groups that pride themselves on jail-breaking the new securities, and you don't see them being charged as criminals and ported off to jail. The same can be said for the Kindle.
Cracking the format will only lead to more people reading!
