LOL. I'm too distracted and have too many hobbies to read, listen or see media immediately. Mostly I buy stuff when I can get a good deal, because I like it (or think I might), and then it can take me up to 10 years (or more) to actually "consume" it. Last week I've finished a computer game that I bought in 2001 for the first time... The companies that created and sold it are already long gone; taken over, or went bankrupt.

Now you know why I'm always screaming that I'll never buy anything with DRM that's dependent on the seller (or whomever).

Shortly I'll go to Feedbooks.com to download a lot of free public domain novels. I really like their layout, and their EPUB stuff is almost always flawless, or nearly so (as far as I've seen). They could be gone suddenly... (And yes, they have quite some stuff that MobileRead does not have, and a nicer search facility.)
