Point is you don't need an eInk to read Kindle books. As a matter of fact, I've been enjoying kindle books on my color nook ![]() Quote:
I'm thinking that all I have to do is call Amazon tech support and ask them to reset the license on that book. I just haven't gotten around to doing so. But that gets back to the heart of the OP post. I think many folks just don't realize how important Tech support is. Often people focus on choice and price until they need tech support and that is when their nighmares begin. It is the very reason why I think the Kindle is such a great product TS is part of the product. =X= |

Interestingly enough, this very "problem" exists for people who buy books from Sony, BN, Kobo, or any other ebook store that has an archive. Which means it is a "problem" for all ebook readers and a good reason to have all of the books saved to your hard drive no matter what type of device you own. (goes off to make a tin foil hat because the last one was used when making dinner this weekend) |

It's less problematic with ADE, the copy is registered to you adobe account, and will be usable. install ade, register it, import books into ade, send to new device. Adept is crap on lots of aspect, but not that one. But even there, i de-drm for my peace of mind. So my books are really mine. Last edited by EowynCarter; 01-19-2011 at 03:30 AM. |

And what happens when ADE decides to change its DRM? Or your ADE account goes on the fritz? DRM is not ideal, no matter the type of DRM. DRM on EPubs is just as bad as DRM on Mobi. And Kindle is really easy to work with. Multiple accounts are a cake walk. Register the device, open the archive, download the book. No gymnastics there. If I want to strip DRM, I know to save the Kindle for PC version. (shrugs) It is basic and easy to do. If I have a problem with my account, I call Kindle CS. My problem is normally fixed in five minutes. It sounds to me like the Adobe CD support people are not that good. Or speedy. Or helpful. I'll take Amazon thank you very much. |

Adobe can't change the drm without everyone following... Not likely to happen. Amazon on the other hand, having the whole control of the chain, could. Anyway, my cybook don't read mobi, so mobi are total useless to me. Mobi to ePub isn't flawless, so i'll rather avoid it. I used mobi, I'm using ePub, and I definitively prefer ePub. |

Let me try again.
I have changed e-readers. I bought a Kindle DX, it took me 30 seconds to open the archive and move books. Very simple. Adobe can change its DRM and those using Adobe's drm will have to change or develop their own DRM. Adobe controls its DRM the same way Amazon controls its DRM. Different comapny, same end result. I am glad you are happy with your reader. That is what really matters. |

On the basis of this experience, I certainly recommend putting in a Web case to start, before fearing it's all so horribly difficult. |
