This story happened in 2012 and was reported by The Guardian, New York Times, and some other authoritative media. Therefore, printing some specific pages to paper for better usage is a pretty normal and reasonable demand. We are not just buying fictions from Amazon, sometimes we also buy textbooks or reference books, like recipes. In other words, only by removing DRM you can make a safe backup for purchased Kindle books. You might not have realized that in fact you are just “renting” a Kindle book, Amazon can make this book no longer owned by you even without informing you. When we buy a paper book or DVD disc, it’s totally OK to share with our family or friends, why it becomes impossible for Kindle books? To share with our family or best friend.


In fact, DRM brings consumers no benefits but inconvenience. Have you ever found that you paid for a Kindle book but you can’t read it on any device with any app you like? Have you ever complained that you paid for a Kindle book but you can’t share it with your family or best friend? Have you ever been frustrated for paying for a Kindle book but you can’t print some pages you need to paper?Īll these are caused by the DRM (Digital Rights Management), it is adopted by online eBook retailers to bind consumers with their own device or app, and the target is pretty clear, the market share.
