The Amazon Kindle Cloud Reader is live
So is this the end of DRM on Kindle books?  Because it works fine in Chromium, which I have full access to the source code for.  That means I can make it do anything, including dump out the text that I'm looking at.I dug around a little bit and found that it's storing its data in a sqlite database in ~/.config/chromium/Default/databases/https_read.amazon.com_0/2 (there's an index of what's in what database in ../Databases.db).  I did a "select * from fragments", found some things that look like data URLs representing images, pasted them into my browser and yup... those are the pictures from the book I'm reading.  So, DRM fail.As for the text of the book, I see some words from the book surrounded by garbage.  So if this is encryption, it's pretty bad.
