Took me about 3 minutes of looking around to find directions to strip the DRM. I am not going to put it up anywhere, but I want to read it on my kindle. Seriously, why even put DRM on a file if it takes 5 minutes and no-programing ability to strip it.

I do like the idea of different price levels depend on the amount of time you want to read it. $5 for 30 days, half price for six month and full price for a full purchase. If Amazon had that I would be "renting" a lot more books. I share an Amazon account with several people but as far as I can tell no one reads any of my books.
