Kindle & 1984

July 28th, 2009

Jamias Cascio brings his own dimension to the Amazon Kindle story – he writes

Now, as I’ve mentioned a few times, I have a Kindle. I’m reasonably happy with it, and I bought it with open eyes about the implications of the DRM (no “right of first sale,” for one thing). This was a foolish move by Amazon, however, and is exactly the kind of thing that guarantees people will work to break the Kindle DRM simply to protect themselves.

It’s a perfect example of an organizational “auto-immune disorder” response.

Jamais has also written a piece for Fast Company
