There are lots of books (well, mostly very old books) available without DRM for the Kindle. I’ve purchased very few through Amazon, although it serves the purpose for magazines and newspapers.

If publishers (and Amazon) want the right to delete books they should sell them for FAR less than the purchase price and just call it a “rental”.

Paradigm shift has made paper publishing obsolete. Alternatives are a lot cheaper, and anyone can be an author now. Old media will try mightily to slow down this process by whatever means they can, but ultimately they will fail. Their iron gates will surround weeds while flowers flourish outside.

I moved this spring and by doing so I hate to move my four shelves worth of books. It was enough to convince me thati it was time to go get a kindle. However I haven’t done it yet because I haven’t had time.

After what Amazon has done however, I’ve decided to wait until e-books go DRM free. What they did in one fell swoop was destroy my faith in e-books. One of my friends also had problems getting his books to work on a new device since he ran out of activation and it’s enough to make me want to think I’m fortunate that my back hurts from moving all my books.

I am concerned that Amazon or someone else will use this technology to change books without the user knowing. I am sure that the PRC government would love to rewrite history according to their whims and current beliefs. Now they can.
