The Guardian asks an important question: How easy is it to lend books to each other, which for many is one of the most enjoyable aspects of reading?
DRM is a headache. This type of "security" is a headache for the consumer and lowers the overall experience. Will the Kindle break away from the nonsense about locking materials? In fact, will consumers be turned off because they will fear a bad experience after purchasing a book?
For example, will I be able to easily transfer books from the Kindle reader to a storage device and back onto the reader?
Actually, I tend not to lend my books. Instead, the books remain on the shelf until I need to look something up. However, anyone interested in the Kindle may ask what will happen when newer versions of the reader are released? Will the books be lost? Will Amazon guarantee consumers a good experience or should we just expect the loss of money after purchasing a digital book?
