books minute 60 seconds

This would appeal to me more if I didn't get visions of people watching the 60 second videos and claiming to have "read" the book (my inner bookworm is cringing). If you can have previews for movies, though, I don't see why you couldn't have previews for a book, assuming that's how they are actually used (because I'm sure we all know how Cliff's Notes and even literary Wikipedia entries have turned out so far; some people do legitimately use them to merely clarify the text, but far more use them as a substitute...).

Kindle ebooks drm piracy

shared by arnie Grossblatt on 25 Jun 09 - Cached

As noted earlier, DRM does nothing to prevent piracy. It’s in place on the Kindle to provide proprietary lock-in for Amazon and a little hand-holding comfort for nervous publishers.  It serves to annoy and alienate potential paying customers. The Kindle has great potential as a device, but as long as Amazon continues to cripple it, readers would be advised to seek alternative e-book solutions.
