Re: Kindle pros and cons

If you have a Prime account, you can often share books with friends. I've got a couple of hundred in my cloud..

Cons.. you really don't own a book.. you own the download.. But, in some cases, if the book is updated, you will get the update free. I have numerous military books and manuals on mine that I downloaded and added via Calibre E-Book Manager.. it converts most formats to the .mobi that the Kindle uses.
Do you really "own" the download or are you just borrowing it for a certain length of time?
Can you move the file to another Kindle or other device without deleting the original?
