Paperback Digital Down?

Demented · 12-21-2007, 12:22 PM

I've been trying to login their for 24 hours or so and their systems are still down. Any info? If you go to shopping cart is says our purchasing system is unavailable and it rejects my username/password.

I just logged in and went to my bookshelf. The books I have purchased there do come up.

I can see previous purchases; but if I try to add an item to the Shopping Cart it says:
"We're sorry but the purchasing system is offline."

It's been like that for the past few weeks.

I hope nobody needs to download any books from there. This is a good reason why DRM is a major issue. You bought books from PaperbackDigital and now you buy a new eink device to read your Mobi format books and you are stuck because the shop is gone and DRM has you but good.

Good thing I only bought 1 book from Paperback. I went with fictionwise for the rest. I also went with .lit
