Salut balok! As-tu essayé le Sony?
Sony's format has been meant to capture a market, iTunes style and to bring DRM to ebooks. Authors have been convinced to join in this way and reassured that their works would be protected and not be pirated. It was one of the best ways to make sure of the viabilily of ebook, quite an important feature in the evolution of readers. Thanks to this, ebook readers will not fail and are garanteed to survive. Yes things will evolve for the better and BBeB might disappear but its task, whatever critics say, has been and is determinant to the world of mobile reading.
