This is not the point. I refuse to pay for something that I have to break into to use how I want.

Wow finally – I figured I’d never see it off paper, because hard-copy publishing is mostly immune to hacking, and 2600 always seemed like it would be such a fat target… course I don’t have a Kindle, but the first one I find in the dumpster I’m there!

If so: it's all kinds of wrong that 2600 Mag is on that defective-by-design assjack Kindle and not being distributed as an unencrypted epub book. 2600, your kung-fu is weak. You fail.

I'm not big on the idea of publishing in a proprietary vacuum like the Kindle marketplace, though. I'm a subscriber of 2600 and would love to have access to some sort of a searchable, web-based repository that works from any open device.
