Personally, I think we'll get there, it may take a while, but I think we'll make it.  |
I appologize for soapboxing and sounding bitter. I guess I get so steamed that a consumer would consider buying a book more than once so they can read it in different formats/media. It just smacks of greed.
Until the bulk of Publishers/Studios/etc see
piracy as a business model to compete against as opposed to enforcing punitive schemes against the consumer, we'll continue to have beautiful technology like the Reader sullied by DRM that only hurts the consumer and benefits a few.
Thanks for being so grounded NatCh
I know I'm being just as greedy for wanting it perfect now...
