Amazon Kindle users, can you aid me next to some answers?
Hi there
I am interested in Amazon Kindle, but before I purchase one, I enjoy a few questions. Forgive me if my questions are silly but I am not sure how this works. Any advice is treatment.
- Do I have to purchase books everytime I wish to read one? And that too via Amazon alone?
- Is there a style to download free books?
- Can I borrow/lend some from/to a different user?
- Can I download and share a book with multiple users with Kindle (my family within this case)?
- Can I resell a "used" copy?
- Can I transfer a copy onto a CD?
Answers:
I dont own a kindle but have be seriouslyl considering buying one so i've done a lot of research. The books are DRM protected. You cannot resell it, you cannot send it to another kindle to share, and the only mode to let someone borrow your book is to lend them your kindle. I know that amazon will allow certain text files to be placed on the kindle but you hold to email them the files and they charge a very small amount to put it on a file the kindle can read. Basically anything you buy for the kindle is stuck to your kindle. No copies or transfers are allowed. Gotta love DRM...
