hello everyone,
sorry if I'm re-opening ancient wounds, but I don't seem to find any simple information about a) buying an e-book from Amazon, b) downloading to a Sony PRS-650, c) reading it.
The whole thing would seem (at least to me) ethically acceptable...ok, questions:
a) is it still necessary to remove the infamous "drm" to do what I want to do?
b) how can I do it (I'm on Linux Ubuntu + Calibre)?;
c) can anyone btw explain (if it's not too complicated) why it is seemingly legal to encrypt an e-book published by a third party and illegal to remove the encryption after acquiring the right to read it...
Sorry I sound so confused. It's a strange world.
