Comment on Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books
LaggyKar@programming.dev 14 hours agoThe problem is some authors signing exclusivity deal with Amazon, which means breaking the DRM and converting it is the only way to read it on a different e-reader.
It’s only takes one person to crack those books and spread them across the high seas and the only way to force authors to abandon Amazon.
There are always people who extra motivated by these challenges. The fact that these are written texts and shown on a screen means there will always be away to scrap the content off even if that involves a camera on a second device.
DRM only hurts customers who want to pay for content.

Well then those authors can go straight to corpo-sellout hell and die a painfully death, I’d rather never read a book again than buy from amazon.

This. All of these problems are solved by people not giving money. But often it seems difficult for people to actually stand behind principle when the time comes – convenience is a helluva drug.
