Good news for e-books (linkage)

Tor and its associated imprints to go DRM-free. For non-US readers, comment #30 is of interest.

On that topic (or, why is this relevant): Charles Stross talks about e-books, DRM and things, in terms that published executives would understand, and before on Why DRM on e-books benefits mostly amazon.

I saw that yesterday

So did I, but LJ was uncooperative *G*

I'm still not interested in reading my books on some expensive electronic device, but that might change. While, "my bookses! mine! my preciousssss!" won't.

I'm very interested in being able to go on holiday with a reasonable amount of reading material without having to lug around a metric ton of paper. *g*

After the "book-case incident" I am seriously considering buying an E-Book Reader. *sigh*
And even if the Kindle is technicaly a great thing. Why the heck would I buy a book if I don't own it afterwards?

I guess it is going to be a Sony...
