David Pogue tries DRM-free ebooks, sells more books than with DRM-crippled ventures

,----[ Quote ]
| Tech writing superstar David Pogue writes
| about his experiment with DRM-free ebook
| publishing. He concludes that even though his
| DRM-free book was pirated all over the net,
| the sales were as high as he expected them to
| be, based on his previous books' sales. Pogue
| goes on to talk about what he's learned here
| -- that DRM-free isn't necessarily bad for
| sales -- and invites other publishers to try
| it out.
