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

Yes, it is on the news section... and it has been hacked for a while

Yes. but it has still been at least a week or so. Maybe it just took a while for it to make it to the news

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

What? There are people with other things to do than hang out here? I'm not sure I believe you.

Well I found it hard to believe too... until I saw people wandering around outside when I went to open the door for the UPS guy! If they're outside, then they're clearly not on MobileRead!

I was shocked to say the least!

Well the UPS guy is allowed to be out and about because he brings us toys. Those other people have no excuse.
