Amazon Kindle Files Hacked To Be DRM Free?

DRM is never welcomed by the end users, and it seems that there are folks who aren’t happy with the DRM on the Amazon Kindle as well. An Israeli hacker seems to have managed to come up with a hack for the Kindle, breaking the DRM protection and getting the eBooks converted into an open format and into PDF files. The benefit of all that? Well, you’ll be able to get those files read on a variety of eReaders, not just the Kindle. If this becomes popular enough, we’re fairly sure that Amazon will take steps to sort it out, even despite the claims of the hacker than he will be able to hack it again if Amazon patches in. If Amazon decides to go down this path, it might just end up slightly messy like Apple’s developers versus the stockholders.
