If I go to a bookstore and buy a book, it's mine.If I go to Amazon & buy an e-book it's theirs.I was VERY seriously considering buying a Kindle until they withdrew books that people had paid for. Imagine Sunday afternoon, my son goes to complete his school project on a famous book, turns on the Kindle and its not there.Now I know it's crippled by DRM (when everyone else has ditched it) why should I throw my money away?
