Amen

To add insult to injury, some publisher/ebookseller
stopped making ebooks not too long ago. If I remember correctly, ebook purchasers were given a drop dead date to download their eooks, and could not longer download versions after that. Wonder
what happened to all the locked ebooks they sold, and how their customers felt about that.

Ebook vendors know they need to make their products more like real books. Draconian
DRM isn't the way to do it.

With Apple's success in so many media fields, it might not be too long before Apple steps into this arena with DRM that makes sense (like the way it is with music, which you can burn to a CD and rip to mp3 and then do as you please). Is Apple that
much smarter or are others just that much dumber?
