Amazon accumulating even more control over the ebook market is not good news for authors and publishers.
Amazon accumulating even more control over the ebook market is not good news for authors and publishers.
But how would (hypothetical) more formidable DRM constitute even more control over the ebook market?
(Do you mean more control by preventing more piracy? Or by preventing more good-faith circumvention? Or more control because ebooks might be published even more Amazon exclusive than they already are, because of superior anti-piracy protection?)
The notion that copying books I've bought and paid for to a second device from a different manufacturer should be considered piracy is offensive.
