a user hostile experience

twincityhackerI conquered the Adobe .epub DMR, and now I can read my new, shiny Jeeves & Wooster collections on my Kindle. I cannot fucking wait for Adobe's DMR to be cracked. This entire journey has been ludacris in the extreme, from finding a place to buy the books all the way to getting them on my reader.
First, I couldn't find the books. Then I found places that sold Wodehouse ebooks, but only those who live in the UK. I eventually found out that Waterstones' ebooks are not region-locked, and bought them. Downloading took some time to figure out, as I had to install Adobe Digital Editions first. Then, today's nightmare trying to get rid of the DMR so I could put them on my Kindle.
A user hostile experience, from beginning to end.
I've gotten ebooks online a lot of different ways, but the easiest way so far has been downloading from Project Gutenberg!
