amazon kindle

DRM refers to the fact that you can't view Amazon Kindle books on other devices (including your computer), or on other Kindles - i.e. no sharing, the purpose of DRM.

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.

DRM is not to prevent other files from being readable on the Kindle.

The Kindle has many flaws, but it does allow you to read a few different non-DRM formats.
