I'm counting on the fact the e-readers are becoming more mainstream. Non techy users will have more problem with DRM than the people who know how to get rid of these. And will complain, unlike the tech-savvy people how just get rid of drm and shut-up.
I think what is more likely is that it will give Amazon a HUGE advantage over the competition. Ironically what the publishing industry are doing is making Amazon far more powerful than they already are, which is going to cause them huge problems in the future. |

I can only add my thanks as well. The fact that you have been willing to take a chance with your blog has been a significant benefit to many of us who just want the opportunity to read our books on whichever device we choose. It is definitely understandable that you sense a need to stay under the radar, so to speak.
Again, many thanks |

I would also like to add my thanks. Now I can happily support my favorite authors without having to worry that someday I might not be able to access my books.

The blog is still up. Alf is not adding to it any more and is no longer associated with the website.
