And now they have a brief article about Sweden's proposed new law targeting those who pirate ebooks.

goodereader have been right before. It's so unexpected that 50/50 there's some truth in it.

I have the 2 models of the Sony 5" reader and the Kobo Mini. Love to have a Kobo Mini 2 with illuminated screen and the Sony style 5 switches from the PRS-350.

The goodereader article is written so as to imply that downloading a single ebook could land you six years. It's actually "gross copyright infringement" that carries that maximum under the proposal - so w're talking large-scale distribution.

Somehow, a headline like "Wholesale distribution of pirated ebooks can result in 6 years in prison" just doesn't have the same clickbait appeal.

I think if Kobo was to make a new 5" Reader, it might be like the H2O2 in a small size. But to be honest, I don't see that happening. |
