iBooks store
I bought my first book through the iBook store yesterday. It was a book by Harold Coyle. I normally buy through Amazon and Sony, simply because the DRM on those platforms has been cracked, so I know that I will always be able to read the books I buy there. I decided to take a chance on this one simply because it said up top that it was DRM free. Since the book was not on Amazon or Sony, I went ahead. The book is DRM free and I can read it in other ebook readers, so all is good.
Obviously, buying from the iBookstore on an iPad is nice from the standpoint that you just buy and it appears on your iPad, ready to read, i.e. no having to go out to a web site or run some proprietary software on my mac to buy it. Yes, I know that Amazon use to have to same experience on the kindle app before Apple shut it down and no I don't think it's fair of Apple.
Frankly, I still haven't found an ebook bookstore that I'm satisfied with from the stand point of browsing for books. Most work just fine if you want to buy a specific book or are looking for a specific author. Maybe someday.
