amazon kindle

Amazon can do a lot of money only from selling kindle, like Apple does with the iPod.

Ebook readers have extremely high contrast/readability and are extremely energy-efficient, being able to display several thousand pages of material without needing to recharge. eBooks are a narrow product, but they have their own ways in which PMPs cannot compete.

Hacker Igor Skochinsky used DRM to load Mobipocket books onto his Kindle. Using a series of scripts, he's able to convert eBook files to Amazon's AZW format and then add the necessary serial number DRM, specialized per an individual's particular Kindle.

Hack let you convert encrypted Mobipocket files that were intended for another reader so that that work on Kindle.
