The Secret History of the American Empire eBook ed.The Future of Digital Reading? The Scroll!.Queen of the Road: The True Tale of 47 States, 22.eBooks About Everything is proud to be a Commercia.Disclaimer: I am not connect to Baen in any way except for being a (very) satisfied customer. Don't treat your customers like thieves and they will return the favor. I wish more publishers could figure this out. While other publishers are charging trade paperback prices for an ebook, Baen is charging less than mass market paperback prices.
What are you going to do after you've been sucked in to the first half of the book but pay for the rest, eh? Finally, to add insult to injury - their prices are reasonable. What's even worse is that they offer free sample chapters of almost all of their books. They know you are likely to want to pay for the rest of the books after you've read the first in the series for free. Basically it comes down to "the first hit is free, kiddies". There you can also find a number of essays by Eric Flint about just why they have chosen to do this.

They've gone further than that - they have made some of their books available for free at the " Baen Free Library". For instance, Baen publishing has absolutely no DRM on any of it's offerings. This is an excellent piece on the pros and cons of digital reading and the largely generational divide in attitudes about literacy and online reading.

They'll get sort of addicted, and then we'll somehow figure out how to collect sometime in the next decade. " And as long as they're going to steal it, we want them to steal ours. It is inevitable and probably helps more than hurts: Very cumbersome!Īt least 95% of our customer support issues are related to DRM! That is a lot of time and energy.Īs much as it might pain me, I agree with Bill Gates about piracy. Most books in the eBooks About Everything store are offered in four formats - adobe digital editions, palm eReader, MSReader and Mobipocket. SO if I want to sell the latest titles from the big publishers like Random House, Simon & Schuster or Harper Collins I have no choice. The publishers insist that it will protect their intellectual property and prevent piracy. Make no mistake, I am NOT a fan of DRM, but as a bookseller I am more or less forced into selling DRM protected books. The lack of a standard eBook format has been even more hampered by the way publishers think about copy protection and their decision to use Digital Right Management. If you own a Kindle you can only buy a book from Amazon. If you owned a Sony you could only buy books from Sony. In the beginning, Sony and Amazon created their eBooks with proprietary reading software. I am thrilled that to be able to welcome Sony eBook owners to the eBooks About Everything store!
The IDPF has spent a lot of time developing this "universal" standard as a way to eliminate the confusion caused by many proprietary formats.

The latest update allows the Sony reader to handled protected Adobe files and any of the ePub formatted files.įor those who wonder, the ePub format is the new standard proposed by the International Digital Publishing Forum. Until now, the only way to read a copy protected (DRM) eBook on the Sony was to buy a book in the Sony store. In what appears to be a direct challenge to the Amazon Kindle, Sony opened up the Sony eBook Reader so that their owners can buy from other retail outlets.

It came in the form of a software (firmware) release. Last week Sony announced a new way of thinking. The Sony eBook Reader now reads Adobe Digital editions eBooks! for some reason (probably the heat), I am having a difficult time thinking, much less getting inspired or passionate. I have had a hard time getting this piece together. Much news about the Sony change in strategy and what it means for the Kindle.
