So..how long before the hack?
So Amazon includes functionality in the Kindle 2 that it wants to let authors disable.
How long before a hack disables the disabling?
From here
Quote:
Publishers and authors now have the power to silence the Kindle 2 e-book reader.
Amazon.com Inc. reversed course Friday on the device's controversial text-to-speech feature, which reads digital books aloud in a robotic voice. The company gave rights holders the ability to disable the feature for individual titles.

Quote:
Seattle-based Amazon said it had already begun to alter its systems to give publishers and authors the choice to disable the text-to-speech function, and that they could decide for themselves whether it was in their commercial interests to leave it enabled.
"We believe many will decide that it is," Amazon said.

And for those who don't, the hack will be out next week.
