Do DRMed files 'check' with the provider via your Internet connection every time you open them?
Thanks. And again, sorry for going off-topic. |
If an e-book has DRM encumbrance limiting it to a certain reader and the reader gets discontinued, you will be stuck with a book you can't read. Of course, you know about Amazon pulling that book off the Kindles. The Sony's may be able to do the same. Same for any other reader that talks to its store.
