drm evil revealed

I mentioned previously that DRM was the main reason I wouldn't be buying a Kindle, despite some definite benefits to it. As an object lesson in why DRM is so evil, we find out that Amazon has disabled text-to-speech for certain books retroactively.

I'm not a big fan of audiobooks, in general, but this is pretty sad. Especially when there seems to be no legal reason to do so.
