Amazon Kindle

The Consumerist provides yet another great article about Amazon Kindle customer nightmares created by it’s own licensing and lack of disclosure about eBook functionality before you buy…

* You’re not buying a permanent copy of the book, only a permanent license to access Amazon’s copy (which leaves considerable power and responsibility in Amazon’s hands instead of yours);

* There’s no way to tell whether a particular ebook has special restrictions on the device limit;

* There’s still no way to tell what sort of restrictions a publisher may have placed on your ability to highlight or clip selections from the ebook.
