Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Make sure you're willing to loose any content you purchase from Amazon digitally. I had the same experience with purchasing eBooks from Amazon as many others. I actually prefer to read and store my books on my laptop. To me the experience is easily as good as a physical book and travel is much easier. HOWEVER, I lost 2-3 hundred dollars of books when my computer crashed. I had to do a re-install (same OS, software, hardware etc.). Although my DRM protected imusic and other protected software came back on-line fine, my eBooks from Amazon (using Adobe format) did not. I contacted both Adobe and Amazon but neither was helpful at all. Amazon went so far as to tell me that the 30 day window was up - there wasn't a 30 day window on the Digital Library when I purchased books in the first place. Until companies figure out how to balance DRM with a paying user actually being able to use the content they purchased, there are going to be a lot of issues.
