The hitch in Amazon's Kindle

This week's Newsweek cover story, Books Aren't Dead, takes a look at the shiny new gadget produced by Amazon. Steve Levy's sidebar explores the fine print on the Kindle:

Though the copy protection doesn't affect book-reading, it is limiting, and annoying. You can't print out a passage, e-mail it to a friend or copy it into a document. You can't lend a book to someone, or sell it after you're finished.

In Newsweek's main story, Internet Archive founder Brewster Kahle says he's unhappy with the DRM on the Kindle; his choice of an e-book reader would be the dirt-cheap XO device designed by the One Laptop Per Child Foundation.
