Yes, we want to OWN books
"Do we really want to own books?" asks the Exact Editions blog. "Do institutions really want to own books?"
Exact Editions is "agnostic" on the first question. I’m not in the least. The answer is an emphatic, "Yes," and I suspect that many and probably most paying customers feel the same way.

In a new column he has penned for the Guardian, Cory Doctorow suggests that the Authors Guild has “lost the plot” in their fight against the Kindle’s text-to-speech function.

I came dangerously close to buying a Kindle II last week for $230—a price workable even with my budget and my unhappiness with the K-machine’s DRM. Owning the II would give me a chance to write about DRM in the most direct way, beyond using the Kindle app on my iPod Touch.
The seller said, truthfully [...] Continue reading
Ficbot meets the Reader cop
I was sitting in one of the waiting areas at Toronto’s Union Station, waiting for the train to Montreal, when he approached me.
“Hello there,” he said with a pleasant nod. He sat down beside me, and I looked up from my Reader, noticing his eyes—blue, piercing—and his hair—black ringlets wafting adorably across well-chiseled [...] Continue reading
FTC Digital Rights Management town hall meeting: summing up
I have had a day to think about what I saw at the FTC’s town hall meeting on Digital Rights Management yesterday, and what it might mean for the future of DRM. The conference fell into the classic “good news, bad news” scenario.
