Just pirate your ebooks online or buy hard copy if you&#x27;re uncomfortable with Amazon&#x27;s tomfoolery. Or, &quot;borrow&quot; them via Amazon, then rip the DRM out with some pirate jag.<p>Technologically, DRM is a solved problem, and has been for years-- just check out the Pirate Bay.<p>Notice how I&#x27;ve mentioned the word &quot;pirate&quot; so many times? This is the result of finding a practical solution to the problems that Amazon has created. This costs them money, directly, as I could just as easily be buying books from them rather than using them to scout books then finding the pirated version.
