Hello!! I have the iPad and the prs-600. I have been researching on here a lot over the last 10 months. I hate the drm on the books. I have done the research and let's just say I can buy from Amazon, Sony, or Barnes and Noble, and it doesn't matter. I have been looking at course smart and I despise their business model. They are going to charge me $65 for a book and I only get to use it for 6 months!! If I want to download it, it is only useable on one machine?!?! I have acquired every book that I have in a legal fashion. I have paid $12 for the ebook of a $8 paperback. That alone aggravates, but then to give me less flexibility too..... Now, to defeat drm on iBooks and course smart! I have no problem paying $65 for the ebook version of a textbook if I get to keep it. But no, these arses are wanting to turn books into subscriptions. NEVER!
