I'm really happy with the reading experience. I can't really think of any way to improve it. Changing fonts, perhaps?

My only annoyance is with the formats. I want to buy my books in any format and convert them to any format. I get the idea behind drm... but I mean.... it's never ever worked for any product. Drm always gets hacked and circumvented. I want to be able to go into a store and pay for a book without having to jump through an insane number of hoops I could have avoided if I just downloaded the pirated book. That annoys me to no end. There is a book I want to buy a lot, Civilwarland in Decline by George Saunders. But it's not available in the Sony store. I can't find it on a pirate site. So if I want it, I need to buy it for Kindle (the only available format) in USA (it's not available in Sweden), and then I have to fiddle with cracking it for my Sony reader. It's all fair use, so no court can stop me. Who the f**k thought that was a good idea? I bet the author or the publisher doesn't.

But I'm well aware that we're at the cusp of a revolution. This'll all change. Right now it's just pure insanity where everybody loses money.
