ebooks

I'm never buying another ebook.

Have pretty much all Sharpes and Pratchetts as mobipocket ebooks. Obviously limited by DRM. Amazon bought mobipockt. Can I read my ebooks after transferring them to a new computer? No.

I bought the damn things, but am not allowed to read them, way to go. Never buying another ebook and especially not anything kindle.

Ebooks without DRM are OK. It is also possible to strip DRM from those purchased with it; a quick searched turned up this which may be of use to you.

Yeah, had found that too, We've been trying yesterday, but no luck yet (am away from my computer savvy friends this week).

And I really like the ebook idea as such, searchable! markable! copy-and-paste-to-lj-able!books are GREAT! And the original mobipocket software could do that!

BUT... the kindle software I have on my computer can't copy, I haven't been able to get calibre to mark and adobe digital does not seem to be able to do either...

Though I don't remember right now what I did, I was able to strip DRM from my kindle books - hopefully something will come up to solve your problem, as DRM sucks.

At least they should offer a refund.
That is unbelievable. I too have books on kindle and ibooks via apple. I don't think I continue with buying, reading this.
