They've got LotR. Given the number of copies I already own (cheap paperback to read, luxury hardcover to admire, shabby paperback because I like the cover art so much better than on my reading copy), I'd have my credit card out already ... but it's DRM'd. Damn.
Just thinking about my fancy deluxe LotR hardcover: Y'know, they could do a lot worse than selling the ebook in physical form, on an SD card, with a nifty little label, and in a fancy storage box. There are nutcases like me (the people who keep that fancy slipcased edition in print) who'd buy it, and pay stupid prices for it . Except, of course, without DRM.
Am I the only person who gets angry when they say "protected" instead of "restricted" by DRM? That's saying "You're a thief, and we have to protect ourselves from your evil acts." Not good PR at all.
Ah, well, Baen Books has a fine selection of ebooks I still need to buy, though their political slant has become a bit disturbing of late.
