You're talking strictly
technology here? The boardroom guys at big publishing firms have a better grasp on ebook technologies than I do? The guts of all the various formats, the nuts and bolts of how DRM is applied/removed, how it can and can't can't be circumvented? Those big-wig
PUBLISHERS ultimately calling the shots in the BOOK industry are closet technology savants that could smoke me in a conversation about how all the various tech interacts to make ebooks and DRM
happen? That's what you're saying? I can't
begin to count the ways I doubt that.
I'm not even dwelling on just the DRM issue guys. I'm talking about ebooks/ereaders/ereading in general. They've embraced the money generated from them while holding them at arms length like baby with stinky diaper otherwise. I'm sticking with idiots. You don't have to agree. Or like it.
