> most ereaders don't have access to kindle's huge book catalog

Are you saying there are a lot of exclusives in their catalog, or just that Kobo devices (for example) can't access DRM'd Amazon books in the same way Kindles cannot access DRM'd Kobo books?

I've recently started buying books from Kobo even though my ereader is a Kindle just because I can strip the DRM from Kobo books.



What nemnorax said, essentially some are kindle exclusives and it's annoying the get rid of the DRM.

You can obviously ignore this fact, but console gamers had to deal with this for a long time and not mentioning it as a feature of the "device" is doing it a disservice.


It's a combo - quite a lot of self published books are basically kindle exclusives and their Drm and format is now annoying to crack.
