None of that sounds very appealing as a cutomer.
Amazon have done well expanding into so many different product lines because people like being able to get everything from one place.
Hey, I'm not saying it's easy or even all that desireable. But I 've been listening to people preaching DRM free uber alles for a year now. People have said that there is NOTHING as important as going DRM free.
Well , the likely path to a DRM free ebook world is something like the BPHs doing a Pottermore. If you are willing to accept that trade-off, then putting up with more inconvenience is the price.
