Have you read the news lately? Amazon is about to restrict the rights of kindle users. They are about to remove the ability to download and transfer books via USB.

I don’t support/condone piracy, but I also don’t support the current trend of taking away user rights.

Next on the list will be the removal of the ability to transfer via email. Just wait.

That being said, all kindles can now be jailbroken: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=43073969

So you can use other legit sources when possible.

That appears to justify jail breaking or drm-free books, not screwing authors out of any kind of compensation for their labour.

The irony is that this will zero the e-book purchases of people that read only in unsupported devices.
