The whole idea of books on the dedicated device is maybe too new
for the planet. One layer is the book itself, with all formatting and
ways to stop reader to handle it, except with left foot and the tail.
Another layer is ereader. With all formatting and ways to stop reader
to handle it, except with lips and right index. I expect vanilla reader
to come pretty soon, probably from one well populated country. It
might manage epub files only, in it's basic form. No frills, no smoke
on the horizon. Would people get it? If good enough, I would. Who
should sell books without any further control? I don't know. If it
lives long enough, every device could use the same algorithm for
display. For bookmarks and all details people like.
One size that fits all is not good for anybody, but the mess of formats
and content control is even worse. I'm pretty interested what people
on the forum think as the best possible solution.
