How to strip DRM on Kindle titles
Here's a hacker who claims to have 'un-swindled' Kindle books by removing DRM. Cheers. Neil

Good, I've been buying ebooks from Ereader.com to strip the DRM because it's easy and I like text-to-speech. I did the same thing with Itunes. I don't steel, I make things that I buy mine. The music industry is starting to wake up to this fact. I give the publishing industry a decade to go extinct then a new distribution method will free us to use our content the way we like. The sooner all the old executives die in a fire, the better.

Woops -- sorry if I duplicated a thread. Don't use Kindle myself (Sony), and thought it was new news that might be handy. Neil

There's so much info here on the board that it's really easy to miss things. Especially if you don't live on the board
