It sucks how many people blame the library for not providing ebooks compatible with Kindle. - mara Dec 16, 10:00 21
- It is to the point that the library insists on using a DRM scheme incompatible with the Kindle -- nm - kilbowl full of jelly Dec 16, 10:31 4

  - A lot of people don't know that. -- nm - mara Dec 16, 10:28
  - Yes, Amazon books have their own proprietary format. nm - Dignan Dec 16, 10:15
- I'd buy a Kindle pretty much immediately if it had EPUB support. I'd expect this kind of stuff from Apple, not Amazon. nm - Dignan Dec 16, 10:11 7
