Why not to buy a Kindle

Lawrence Lessig's blog featured a fascinating screen grab from his Kindle.

There's a book published in 1865 whose copyright expired long ago. Kindle won't let you copy, print, lend, give, or read aloud. Many have complained that you can no longer do the latter; I'm incensed you cannot do the first three.

I'm saving my money for now.

I've pasted a URL to it below, not sure my manner of doing so constitutes bandwidth stealing.
