The music biz already went through this cycle, now it's the publishing world's turn, I guess.
I can see using some form of DRM to protect copyrighted works, although what I really wish is that the public would have enough respect for authors, the creative process, and the overall benefits of supporting people who do creative work that it wouldn't be necessary.
But I can't for the life of me understand why Amazon is using DRM on
public domain works. Amazon should make those available without DRM and make them attractive to buy on Amazon by adding value--nice covers, formatting, and fonts, for example. Much the way paper publishers to this day are putting out nice editions of public domain works.
