Lulu introduces DRM
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm inclined to think that at the very least, I
| shouldn't publish with Lulu again; and,
| probably, I should also withdraw my existing
| publications from their system and find some
| other print-on-demand outfit. Is that an
| overreaction?

Ebook license "agreements" are a ripoff
,----[ Quote ]
| In today's Observer Business column, John
| Naughton discusses what a ripoff it is for
| ebook vendors to "sell" you books with abusive,
| multi-thousand word "license agreements,"
| pretending that because you bought your book
| over the network, it wasn't a sale, and so you
| don't get to own it.

Will eBooks Kill Off The Hard-Cover Book?
,----[ Quote ]
| Arnaud Nourry, CEO of French publishing group Hachette Livre told the
| Financial Times that pressure from Googleâs (GOOG) digital library project
| and from the move by Amazon (AMZN), Barnes & Noble (BKS) and others into
| electronic books is forcing publishers to consider drastic price cuts. He
| thinks one result could be the death of hardback books.

OpenInkpot: free software for e-book readers
,----[ Quote ]
| Back in July, Jonathan Corbet lamented that
| Amazon was making the Kindle an unattractive
| hacking target for Linux users. The comments
| to his article suggested having a closer look
| at OpenInkpot, a fairly new Linux distribution
| for e-book readers. This much in advance: It
| doesn't run on the Kindle. Not yet, anyway.
