But, I do try to avoid DRM if I can, if not at least avoid types I can work around or remove. BOb |

I don't think you can really blame Sony for the DRM fiasco...the publishers won't sell their books without DRM, and Sony wouldn't sell nearly as many readers without someway for owners to purchase the more popular current releases.

In that case, my solution is to convert the LRx (if there is a way, I'll find one if there is a need) to a nice non-DRM format and sell it that way. If it's not in the EULA or whatever, ignore it. Click though licenses are not valid, and I think there is court precedent on that. The authors and the publishers and SONY unfortunately don't realize that DRM only hurts the customers, nobody else. I realize that they need to sell books to put books on the market (legitimately) but playing the game by their rules causes disproportionate trouble. I don't know what the solution is. Anyway, that's my input, covert the LRX or LRF (I did lowercase x to include both) to txt or rtf or something. If that's troublesome, I'll get right on figuring out how. |
