Booksellers lived with 2nd hand sales for centuries, surely the savings on printing costs for ebooks would cover the loss from some piracy. |

12 years ago I used to work back-office at a business consultants, you wouldn't believe the guff they used to come out with to justify their £1,000 per day fee. Most of it was just recycled from the last business they worked for, just a few words changed to make it seem more personal.

The lack of any secondary market for ebooks will more than compensate for the small minority of people who download pirate books, and writers have just as much to gain from piracy as they do from second hand paperbacks. Publishers I couldn't care less about.

I'd suggest removing the DRM sooner rather than later. When I first bought my kindle, it was just a matter of finding the PID of your device to remove the DRM. Then Amazon decided it was worth making it a bit harder and there were a rough few months while Smart Folks figured out how to get around the updated DRM. There's always a chance they could change something again.... |
