I never could read an eBook I owned, because I was not and I am still
not willing to register at the Adobe homepage. If I pay for the same
book made of paper, I do not have to inform Adobe and the NSA, that I
own this book. If I pay the same book made of paper with cash at a local
bookshop or local _second-hand bookshop_ I quasi buy it anonymously. Any
second-hand eBook-shops out there? Before I downloaded the eBook I
wasn't informed, that I need to register at Adobe, to be able to read
the book, resp. to _really_ download the book, since the original
download was just some meta-data.
DRM sucks!
