Penguin Yanking Kindle Books From Libraries

Posted by Unknown on from the every-time-you-share-jesus-kills-a-kitten dept.

New submitter moniker writes "Penguin Group is removing Kindle ebooks from libraries using Overdrive citing 'security concerns' as a weak excuse, while most likely taking a shot at Amazon. One more example of DRM being about protecting business models, not content."

    It has been easy for quite a long time to turn a kindle (.azw) to any other format. All it takes to find free software to do it is a quick google serach. So coming out now and saying security concerns is just dumb.

    I didn't say I do it, I just said you could. ;)
