Ebook reader - thinking to buy my 1st ebook reader

I should , I think, qualify this by noting Amazon, from what I have read, are moving past the ezw3 format, to a more new KFX format with stronger DRM controls (with one book spread across multiple files), making it difficult for those buying an eBook, to back up their book 'locally' on their home computer.

 

I think newer Amazon Kindle eBook readers (like the Kindle Paperwhite Signature) that I have ordered, use a KFX format, which for any who wish to locally back such up, may have an issue. I read in some cases, Calibre with the DeDRM plugin and KFX plugin, may be able to 'unlock'/'decrypt' some eBooks using the KFX format to allow saving to an ePUB , PDF or other format, but many (majority ? ) of eBooks on the newer Amazon Kindles in KFX format, can not be locally backed up (at least not yet) by Calibre. 

 

Having typed this, ... it was not a consideration for me.  The Kindle will allow other formats (such as mobi, ePub, PDF, lit) to either be copied on the Kindle and viewed, or converted to an ezw3 format and viewed on the Kindle.

 

There was a lot to learn (for me) on this eBook reader topic, and one thing is 100% certain :  I am still learning here.

Generally the hackers have always beaten the coders.

You might have to wait a week while they work out how to defeat the new encryption though.
