More humble hacks, please. ]]>Dec 12th 2007 6:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/kindle-drm-hacked-to-allow-protected-mobipocket-ebooks/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/kindle-drm-hacked-to-allow-protected-mobipocket-ebooks/
Kindle DRM --> Mobipocket (or other) format. That way (hopefully) we can get converters to other formats, such as those for the Sony Reader.

Sadly, I think Amazon wants to sell hardware, even though they're a book retailer (yes they sell tons of other junk, but they don't *build* it). Sony, OTOH, wants to sell books even though they're a hardware retailer. Sheesh.

Amazon is gonna win the book selling end of things, hands down. Sorry Sony, own up to it. The Kindle is an ugly dog, and Sony's Reader is elegant, beautiful, and ergonomic, Amazon own up to it. Become friends. Combine forces. Take over the universe.

Anyways... the Kindle does support Audio (including Audible.com books), and does have a basic web browser.]]>Dec 13th 2007 4:08PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/kindle-drm-hacked-to-allow-protected-mobipocket-ebooks/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/kindle-drm-hacked-to-allow-protected-mobipocket-ebooks/Dec 13th 2007 7:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/kindle-drm-hacked-to-allow-protected-mobipocket-ebooks/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/12/kindle-drm-hacked-to-allow-protected-mobipocket-ebooks/
