What does Jeff Bezos think is going to happen? | The Reinvigorated Programmer

But of course I won’t buy a new Kindle, when this one is perfectly functional. I’ll just pirate the book that I have already paid for. I will find somewhere that I can download a non-DRM-crippled copy of the book, and put it on my device that I have also already paid for.

The Unexpected Joys Of Hacking An Old Kindle | Hackaday

Mon, 24 Nov 2025 23:23:26 +0000

Make no mistake, I’m greatly appreciative of the fact that we now have mature single-board computers like the Raspberry Pi available for a reasonable cost. But taking what’s essentially consumer e-waste and turning it into a useful platform for learning and experimentation is the true hacker way. So whether you’ve got a Kindle collecting dust somewhere at home, or end up grabbing a few off of eBay for a song, I invite you to bust out the USB-serial adapter and start exploring.

Outlawed by Amazon DRM « Martin Bekkelund

Amazon wipes a woman's Kindle and shuts down her account. This is why I strip the DRM from every Kindle book I buy, and archive each away on my home server. And, also, why I rarely buy Kindle books.

Why is Anyone Surprised that Kindles Are Too Breakable for Children? | iFixit

Wed, 09 May 2012 23:04:03 +0000

Perhaps the best implementation of educational technology in the developing world, One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) designed their own laptop—it’s durable, light, can withstand extreme conditions, and, most importantly, is easily repairable by the children themselves. Remove four Phillips screws, and the screen’s off. Four more screws, and the motherboard’s off. Their repair and troubleshooting guides are available on each laptop and online, and they are also developing a list of sources for repair parts.

Cutting their own throats - Charlie's Diary

Wed, 30 Nov 2011 22:00:12 +0000

As ebook sales mushroom, the Big Six's insistence on DRM has proven to be a hideous mistake. Rather than reducing piracy[*], it has locked customers in Amazon's walled garden, which in turn increases Amazon's leverage over publishers. And unlike pirated copies (which don't automatically represent lost sales) Amazon is a direct revenue threat because Amazon are have no qualms about squeezing their suppliers — or trying to poach authors for their "direct" publishing channel by offering initially favourable terms. (Which will doubtless get a lot less favourable once the monopoly is secured ...)
