They could come up with tougher DRM or a tougher way to access keys, like Kindle for Mac.

Sats method for Kindle for PC still doesn't actually decrypt the current Kindle for PC keys. It works around that little issue. So all they could do to protect the tougher DRM books was to prevent them from downloading.

What I want is for these incessant posts about PMs to stop.

ETA: Thank you @pdurrant for deleting the PM posts.

You’re the OP; you get to ask that people stay on topic, which posts asking for a PM are not.

So. I’m putting posters on notice to stop asking for PMs. It’s not too much to ask that newbies read the thread and comply. I’ll keep an eye on the thread and delete posts in violation; posts can also be reported.

I’m going to soapbox a bit and say that a point of a forum is the public conversation. While some conversations need to be private for various reasons, making a display of them gets in the way of the public discourse.

@issybird

To users thinking about posting a PM request, @issybird is a moderator. That's what the green means. So take the above notice seriously.

If you are really incapable of searching out the information yourself, PM @Sirtel (or whoever) directly. Please do NOT post a request to receive a PM in this thread.

If your PMs are turned off, you can request that they be turned on here: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=319819
