Kindle is most gifted Amazon item, ever

,----[ Quote ]
| Amazon.com on Saturday released its annual 
| post-Christmas statement on holiday sales and 
| made one thing clear: the Kindle was king, 
| perhaps fueled by continued shifts in plans 
| for shipments of Barnes & Noble's competing 
| Nook e-reader.
| 
| "We are grateful to our customers for making 
| Kindle the most gifted item ever in our 
| history," said Amazon founder and CEO Jeff 
| Bezos.

Amazon Announces It Sold More Kindle Books Than Physical Books On Christmas... But Doesn't It Mean Rented?

,----[ Quote ]
| But, again, since this is the Kindle we're 
| talking about, shouldn't Amazon make the 
| distinction between purchased and rented?

Hackers break Amazon's Kindle DRM

,----[ Quote ]
| The hack began as an open challenge in this 
| (translated) forum for participants to come up 
| with a way to make ebooks published in Amazon's 
| proprietary format display on competing 
| readers. Eight days later, a user going by the 
| handle Labba had a working program that did 
| just that.
