As someone who's studied the industry for years, I think DRM is stupid, far too many eBooks are over-priced, and that commercial publishers aren't actually trying to screw us - either as writers or as readers.
I'm not as fond of the indie scene as many around here because while some indie books are as good as anything out there, others are truly terrible and I don't have the time to sort through the chaff.
I'm also a Vancouver Canucks fan - and think Hockey is the only major sport that matters.
