The whispernet and vodaphone link is unnecessary
I don't think it is very necessary to have a wireless download option everywhere where this device is available. It is just unnecessarily limiting the availability of the device. Probably will not be available in Finland for instance. Even though we have one of the highest percentages of people reading anywhere in the world (about 65-70% compared to 40% in the US - according to Steve Jobs).
On the other hand I think that the publishers and device makers should take their que from the music sellers and abandon DRM. Amazon is still trying to play the old game of locking people to use your device and you as a book supplier. Amazon is of course big enough to just be able to do this but this is still a problem. There is no piracy ecosystem for books anyway - so why bother. It seems that the book sellers do not after all want the money from electronic sales. |
