On the plus side, there are non-DRMed books available at Amazon, B&N, and Borders. There are some authors who are asking that their books be sold without a DRM and the Publishers have allowed those Publishers to do so. Amazon has control over files that you buy through them. They do not archive or control any book you buy from a different book store. I like that Amazon archives my books for me because I can feel comfortable deleting a book knowing that I can download it again. This is less of an issue now that collections have come along. I can sort my books into catagories I create so I don't feel the need to delete books any more. As much as people like to point to the 1984 mess, Amazon learned an important lesson from that. They allowed people to redownload the book or recieve a gift certificate for another book after they had pulled the books and returned the cost of the book to those who purchased the book. I like that Amazon sends me a notice when a book I have purchased has had a new version uploaded and asks me if I want to change versions. There is a nice little note telling me that I will lose bookmarks and notes if I accept the new book. |
