I'm with you, Alex. That's why I periodically back up anything I buy from Amazon onto my computer and un-DRM them into open Mobi files. I would have never bought a Kindle if I weren't able to do that. But my reason was more to guard against hardware failures or obsolescence than against something like this.

I hope Amazon gets fried for this. Meanwhile, this prole will still be reading his mobi file!
