Of course there are programs that are out there that will fix up the formatting if you have to get a book by darknet because there are no copies avaliable elsewhere.

Unfortanetly this is another fine example of what DRM and geographical locks do. They don't stop the pirates, they just teach people how to become criminals (removing DRM under most DMCA is an illegal act) because they are frustrated with problems associated with the DRM. However I understand perfectly why companies do put DRM on their products.

As for the "mine" comment, thats the reason why I never brought a kindle and used the Amazon store (the 1984 saga)
