You mean me? Because I'm more pragmatic than principled - as long as DRM can still be removed from Amazon books, I'll continue to buy from them occasionally. But I don't buy only from them (and never have).

I no longer use a Kindle. I might reconsider if Amazon releases a truly spectacular Oasis replacement, but at the moment that's not very likely.

Kobo ereaders have their flaws, of course, and I freely admit they tend to be buggier than Kindles were when I still used them; but I strongly prefer Kobo software and general approach to Amazon's as it is today.

There is still old versions of Kindle for PC.

If you are going to predict the future, don't you think that the DRM will be defeated?

It is possible that this could happen. So there will be 2 options (which are not mutually exclusive):

- Connect the Wifi, download and read the books from Amazon on a Kindle e-reader (which is what I think most Kindle users already do because it is so convenient).

- Buy books from other bookshops and read them on the e-reader of your choice (including Kindle e-readers).
