First, it's arguable whether striping the DRM for personal use is illegal.

Second, I have purchased quite a few titles from Amazon and I have stripped the DRM on all of them. If I couldn't d it, I would not have purchased them.

I like the Kindle, but I am fairly sure that within a year I'll have a something else. Also, virtually everyone I know who has purchased ebooks strips the DRM on most of them, or buys only cheap throw-away e-titles.

So, yes, for me and many others, an iApp book will be a non-starter as a building block for a library."

Again.... Unless someone is willing to break their licensing agreement with Amazon, and willing to break the law, they cannot read an ebook bought from Amazon on any App/Device other than those approved by Amazon. Show me in the license you agree to when you buy a book from Amazon, that I am wrong.
