Paper books? What are those?

Not surprised, but hope it might serve as a wake-up call to Amazon that DRM does not work.

Wasn’t this done a long time ago?

Realistically, a large portion of people using readers won’t bother to tamper with the DRM.

So, Matt, would you say it’s about the same percentage of readers who would tamper with DRM that would shoplift from a bookstore?

Hay wat up book worms ! :) oooohhhh that sucks. I mean for amazon ! onne second i have to cough (cough ……cough…..) anyways… Well im not much of a bloger ! sooo well i will leave you to your peace .

Dakota u r a idiot. u can’t read yourself to death and for the reading world this is a big thing. u insulted a lot of respected people and there opinions. this could change the industry of books and i think it would be smarter to just go back to paper even though it is not great for the envirament.

Sorry my little sister got on to my comp.I have a kindle myself and i am happy mine hasn’t got hacked into yet .I fell sorry for the people who’s did. Well got to go for now.
bye

u r still an idiot. a man haked into the program not indiviguals. u need to read the story. urs will not be haked into anytime soon. its just that he got past there protection.

Still ember,
our industies in America have come to something very big to day in every ones daily life. The Kindle is just a small part of all the tecnology we have today. Yes there are some very smart people out in the world who well like to take over things. Meaning HACKERS. Book with paper will soon be long gone . Tecnology will yes someday take over. So it may be your opinion that books should be paper forever ,but in the end the population will take over, and books will soon become a small part of tecnology.

u obviously have never read or seen the play farenhiet 451. it shows u what ur little idea might do to society. and books will never be totally be gone. people will always have a need for books weather or not others agree with this is there opinion.

i am sorry for this big miss under standing i was being a little mean to you have a great day!

u have a right to ur opionion.

Speeling! Please, for the love of God, check your speeling before you post!!

Tampering with DRM is not the digital equivalent of stealing books. For those of us that have purchased the Kindle and have spent a lot of money buying books for it, the prospect of those titles being anchored to the Kindle in the event of switching devices left a lot to be desired.

Now that the DRM has been hacked, if the Nook or Sony’s e-reader end up being better devices I can easily switch to them without having to face losing hundreds of dollars of material.

This hack has nothing to do with piracy and is a work-around for what could easily be considered an anti-competitive move on the part of Amazon.
