Yes, I know I'm limiting myself but, by avoiding using a Kindle, you're also limiting yourself. There are some advantages when buying from Amazon. We've both made choices and making a choice (by its nature) results in limitations. Last edited by rcentros; 11-22-2017 at 11:32 PM. Reason: Originally left out "more" |

On the other hand, I have never heard of Amazon allowing any other shops to sell books with their DRM protection scheme (excluding John F's statement). That makes it a much more closed system. And while I don't particularly think much of any of the DRM schemes around, I have a lot less issues with the concept behind Adobe DRM than Amazons scheme. |

How does it work? From what I can see, Pottermore has dropped DRM and before that, it was using a watermark style DRM.
Maybe JSWolf isn't being clear, but he is referring to use of the encrypted style of DRM that Amazon uses. I have never heard of another store selling books protected in this way that could be used on a Kindle. |

Looks like you're right. While I was out this afternoon I checked a couple pawn shops that used to have Kindles (and Nooks) all the time – not one in either store. I guess they quit buying them. (Probably tired of selling them for $10.)
