How did you feel about Kindle jailbreaks? Why not just let people get root if they wanted on the device they paid for?

Don't need to work at Kindle to know that publishers demand the drm, not a require by Amazon itself.

You can get Kindle books on an Android app on a rooted phone, or on a PC, or on a browser.

Nothing about DRM requires Amazon to jail the device.
