It's too easy to alter the content of an ebook, and I fear the self-righteous that could modify a book to "protect" me from "dubious", "immoral", or any other "bad" content.
Just my opinion. 
That's the point anti-ebook people could lean on, and that point is a good one to approve DRM... Don't throw stones, please ! |
Not true. I know a SF writer who altered one of her earlier books to suit the evolving technology of her world. I was really confused trying to discuss the tech with other readers until I discovered this.
I rather felt it was cheating, but content can and does get altered between editions of pbooks.
And then there's always the abomination that is Readers Digest Condensed Books.
