Last week, in a question about which e-book reader is best, I was asked
which is a good model for renting digital downloadable books from public
libraries.
In a sudden fit of brain cramps, I wrote that Amazons Kindle e-reader can
download library books. WRONG!
I later learned from a batch of readers and the Salt Lake County Library
that the libraries in fact do not support the Kindle. My bad.
snip
But if I read the fine print on the librarys website, I would have
realized that the PDF books rented out by the library use DRM, or digital
rights management, to protect the files from being copied. Unfortunately,
the Kindle does not support that kind of DRM. Why?
snip
At this point, they want customers of the Kindle and iPad to purchase the
files hence, not making them available from their local library.
The complete article may be read at the URL above.
