Besides not being open about the download limit, the situation with Kindle's DRM is amplified because they let the publishers set the conditions. Not good for the consumer. My big complaint about Apple's handling of machine management is not allowing you to de-authorize machines until 5 are authorized. It'd be nice to handle the situation where you forget to de-authorize a machine and wipe it. Good point.

It sounds similar to how iTunes requires your machine to be authorized to play DRMed (.m4p) music files… but at least Apple is clear about the number of machines that can be authorized at any given time, lets you manage which machines are authorized, etc. That’s a mess.
