Too bad it only works (if at all) with Windows. The last post on that thread points out that in fact it doesn't work (which is my experience) unless one has a kindle or equivalent device.
I highly doubt that hence the -1 rating of that post. Did you even try it yourself to verify? (I can't as I don't buy that stuff.)
I don't have, and won't buy it either.
Dave has that problem. He has the link for a DRM protected ebook, which happens to be gratis, but it is impossible to download in Linux. Yes, it is stupid to DRM protect a gratis book.
And yes, I do purchase ebooks, and many of them are protected with DRM. It is not my choice. If I want a certain tittle, it is either paper or DRM protected epub, take it or leave it. Or pirate it, which I will not. Paper is out of the question. So, DRM epub it is.
For me, paper is the Only way to go. I can take it anywhere, don't have to worry about power, don't have to worry about the server where it lives going down or being unplugged, and since I Really Do own it (not just a license to access it), I can, if I like, give it away, loan it or sell it; it's nobody's business but mine. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
