So I'm happy to not use a Kindle. > The Kindle software phone home to make sure that specific book you want to read is allowed on the particular PC You can copy a book to another PC install the reader, and the book will not display as it's not on an authorized PC. There may be some software to remove the protection, I'm not sure but I would imagine there is, in that case it's easy but I have seen Tings books on the Internet before they were published by Amazon and other than the cover they were very similar, they come when one purchases the software from Dr. Ting, as part of the package you get unprotected PDF files that explains it all. I did not download the book in question but is it the Amazon version or the version Ting offers unprotected? I legally have 147 books from Kindle, 1/2 Novels, 1/2 Computer books with a few on Photography, I might look into how to un-protect them, not because I want to give them out, but I don't want to be at Amazons whims. -- Cecil - k5nwa
