Amazon Cloud Reader (html5)

Post by Eric! »

Has anyone taken a look at how amazon's HTML5 based cloud reader works? It appears to be using a sqlite database and it emulates an e-reader nicely. If you haven't tried it, you can go to Amazon.com and find a free e-book and download it to your cloud reader and then go to https:/read.amazon.com and it will access your store, and save the book into a local database.

I'm curious if anyone has tried to play with it. I was thinking it would be nice to use their technique to import/export epub books for cross-platform support, yet secure the book from casual users who insist on copying them.
