neither smashwords nor baen offer out of copyright books. they offer books published from 2010 and back.

as far as i know the nook can't read any best sellers from major publishers, either, except the ones sold by barnes and noble. i believe it reads a proprietary barnes and noble drm.

We're talking about books that are copyrighted in with today publishers. The kindle is very limited, VERY limited options as opposed to the rest of us.

Hmm. I see that I missed a lot of fun over the last week while I've been rebuilding from a HD crash.

I can say with certainty, the electronic format will ultimately stay or survive, could be that the market will continue to support two or three at a time. Everything depends on the sale and what people buy.

I hope that the formats become standardized but that the different EBRs continue to proliferate which will bring about continued improvements in the devices.
