This collection is pretty much idiot proof to install and even has a nice little window to perform the DRM removal.
I used to believe there are things that are idiot proof. I don't believe that anymore. You have no idea how many people I have seen who had trouble with so-called idiot-proof software. The other day, a girl I know wanted me to send her some photos. I compressed the folder into a self-extracting rar file and sent it to her. All she had to do was double click on the exe file and voila she'd have a folder full of photos. But then I got a phone call from her asking for some instructions. Get it? There are people who have trouble even with double clicking on an exe file.

To me, the Kindle is overpriced junk sold to mindless consumers, just like any Apple product you can name.
I think at some point in their engineering process they hired a team of blonds to try to use their devices.

But, I blame Bill Gates for the dumbing down of computer users. Almost nobody knows how to use a command line interface anymore! I guess it would be the public education system (and texting) to blame for the dumbing down of Americans when it comes to proper spelling!
Haha, reminds me of Idiocracy.
