Yes, the time is correct. So either Win 8 or Adobe made a change that more rigidly enforces DRM. Except for the royalty money, I don't see what the big deal is. Before my Nook, I used a Sony...

I'm upset with B&N at the moment. I just discovered that, if I buy a book, even a free one, from the B&N ebook site, I can't transfer that book to my computer. I prefer to organize my books using...

Unless outdoors, keep the glow light on

I've only had my glow for a day and, initially, thought the contrast was too low. I was sitting on a couch next to a table lamp. I decided to try the glow light, and the text popped out. The glow...

Simple touch page tuning in sunlight
