Nobody with sane mind cares. You may buy Kindle, but then you jailbreak it right away. You can "buy" Kindle e-books, but then you exfiltrate these right away. When you stand your ground, what can Amazon allow you or not allow?

Sure, if you don't mind playing a stupid cat and mouse game with one of the largest corporations on the planet, go for it. I did it for a bit and got real tired of the drag.

Now if a book is available from a DRM free source, I buy it. Otherwise something else

You're financially incentivising them. You could do the same process with Kobo, without rewarding Amazon at all.

Spoken like a techie, with the attitude NYers have to the "flyover states".

Only tech-savvy people who are morally OK with pirating and jailbreaking are "sane"?
