And at least with iTunes, I had a way to get those DRMed files into a way I could take them away, if I wanted. Sure, only a certain number of times, but I COULD burn them to a CD and walk away with them, just like my other CDs that I'd bought in a store. Kindle, you can't really do that with like books you bought at a bookstore, can you?
You know, with the exception of one deadly and unpredictable midget, this girl is the smallest cargo I've ever had to transport. Yet by far the most troublesome. Does that seem right to you?

Hey. New board.

Not unless you feel like investing in a hardcore paper scanner and some really good OCR software, and don't mind ripping your books apart.
Or, if you meant in the other way, like my re-read is implying - no, there's no way I've found yet to change a Kindle-purchased book into paper. It's a very closed system. Like I said, I doubt that will last forever, but it is the way for now.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I'm trying to work out how to force a browser to refresh its css. I've sent header information no-cache, must-revalidate and an expiration date in the past. But no dice. I have to manually refresh the page for the updated css to be included.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Huh. That kinda' clever. I was thinking you could change the name of the css each time you want it to refresh, but figured that would be too much of a PITA.

Very clever! One of the commenters had a good idea to further this: make the version # a php variable containing the date stamp of the css file. Then you never have to update the css link.

That won't work for the board, but I might be able to force a reload right after the file is updated and saved, and hopefully that takes.
