I must pose this question to Amazon in the vain hopes that someone with any kind of power to affect anything will read this:
How come I cannot read my property on a device I own.
I am speaking of reading library ebooks on Kindle, and the public domain archive that google now offers. The library system that I use most frequently, the King County Library system, has an ebook program that should for all intents and purposes work on the kindle. There are scripts out there that allow you to do this with the relative ease of a root canal, but they work because they are essentially the same file type as what amazon is selling.
But the library is public institution paid for with our tax dollars, making it essentially public property, which includes the ebook licensees they hold.
Why are we ranting and raving over a device that ignores a feature that almost every other device in its class has?
