    What does this mean? What prevents me from OCRing the pages on a video that quickly goes through it?

      You are making a common mistake of being too literal with headlines! What you described is quite difficult and laborious. Nothing prevents you from doing that. Please try in the future to read headlines knowing the editor has written them to attract your attention, using a provocative word like “impossible”, while the piece itself might still provide useful information. This is an important aspect of media literacy.

        Well yeah, but fearmongering about text DRM is just annoying to see. There are many battles to fight, and epub extraction from a Kindle is very low on the priority list
