Hmm, that brings up another question... I grabbed a number of the
military books on machining, electronics, and machine repair. I just
-assumed- that I could load up any book I wanted in PDF format.

I've ripped some CD's to MP3 and loaded them onto my Ipod with no DRM
verification, didn't see why the Kindle would be any different. Looks
like I'm wrong?

And you bring up a really good point about digital libraries. Printed
books can be handed down through several generations or more if cared for.

So can Ebook formats, if you save them on DVDs/CDs and so forth..or
preferably..a USB hard drive that you refresh every 4-5 yrs

And give your DRM code in your last will and testiment...G
