What i need to determine is if I can live without Amazon's library. Basically, are the selections offered by Waterstones and other sites comparable in terms of selection. I guess its time to get researching!  |
I agree. Competing formats, stupid DRM policies, and geographical restrictions create unnecessary complications to buying and reading e-books. Hopefully the situation will improve in the next few years.
Basically, you have to choose between Amazon and other stores. I hate Amazon for forcing us to make that choice, but I have to admit that for English language books, they have an incredible selection, and their website, search engine, and reader feedback functionalities are unequalled. However, I do not not how many of the huge number of books offered at Amazon.com are actually available for European buyers.
On the other hand, European publishers and resellers are now very quickly building up their e-book inventories. I heard that Danish language e-books are incredibly expensive, so maybe it's not really a plus for you. But keep an eye on the British booksellers (except amazon.co.uk), they have a lot of books available to the rest of Europe. In ePub format of course. With Adobe DRM, yuck.
