This is kind of a follow-up to Could This be the Future of Amazon eBooks? where I talked about how Amazon could be following in the same footsteps that Apple tread to become DRM-free with their music (and Amazon probable contribution, IMO).
Today, my Google Reader popped up an opinion piece What Amazon and HP Are Now Learning From Apple. The opinion talks about how opening up made Apple stronger. Quote:
Anyway, the writer feels Amazon has learned a less from Apple. Quote:
What do you folks think? Do you see Amazon moving to open itself to more devices? |

Then again, many years later we have become a Mac household, so maybe the effect was just delayed |
