I love to read, but the DRM-happy nature of Amazon and the control-freak attitude of Apple are the precise reasons why I will keep on waiting. I’m sure there is a company somewhere who understands the value of DRM-free data on an open marketplace.
In my comment, I mentioned another good place to find free ebooks: Random House’s Suvudu.com. They release a couple of titles each month, DRM-free, for a limited time.
Thanks for the recommendations!
Itmansays:
I am reading mostly technical papers, which come in PDF. I don’t have an ebook yet and just use a laptop. It is not very convenient, though. But I will not gonna buy an ebook unless it size/price ratio gonna decrease significantly.
