Edit: Wow, they didn't even give her due process by letting her know exactly what the violations were and how she could prove she didn't do them. Insane.
I'm now sideeying my Kindle warily.

Glad I didn't buy a Kindle. I was tempted, but I saved up for an iPad instead.

Well, this is certainly a wake up call. I've already got Calibre, I just need to figure out how to de-DRM my books with it. Maybe that'll be this weekend's project.

However, even if you can't buy from the Kobo store and move it to your computer directly, Calibre will let you copy files from your device to the Calibre library on your computer, so you could do it that way.

I bought some epub with DRM, but I don't think I have to be angsty about them.
Thanks
