Between the Kindle cloud reader, the mobile apps, and the desktop apps, the glass is free. I'm not saying I like DRM - I don't, I find it a huge pain in the ass, and I took care of it as soon as I downloaded the book - but you're misrepresenting the situation for the benefit of your argument.

I'd say it's almost a textbook (no pun intended) example of "free as in beer" but not "free as in freedom" as Stallman defines it.

Unlike Stallman, though, I cannot resist the temptation of free beer.
