So how is DRM going to help you? The people who do send out eBooks already know how to strip the DRM. So they won't be hampered by your locks. The people who don't are the ones who will be hampered by your locks. So really, your locks don't keep out the ones who do share eBooks. All they do is hamper those who don't. |

I think it's more likely he/she means that since it's not the most popular one in the US, it's not mainstream

My point was you aren't in the position to be limiting your reading audience. You are a nobody in the millions of people who think they can write. You need to be able to get out there as much as possible, even if it is to a "gamer" or a fiction lover, ( although I still have no idea how those correlate to ' not going to read my book'...). Your tale about your father also has zero relevance to subject, you know that right? |

I'm hoping you are correct and not that it's not a Kindle. But I consider any reader that uses ADE and handles ePub with and without DRM to be mainstream. I'm sorry if he just doesn't get it.

Niche eReaders and niche genres are related. The professionals in my area who care about technical books get PRS-950s because of the size, the organization, the screenshot capability (with PRS plus) and the robust note-taking via stylus. The professionals in my area who just want to read novels are more likely to get Kindles or Nooks. |

Although, really, I'm struggling to not be offended by the implication that criminal investigators do not own video games, fantasy novels, or girl bits. |

I think they do own girl bits. Mind you, they do need to be inflated.
