e-book != DRM
EDIT: To be more clear, it says "We must reject e-books until they respect our freedom." But every single benefit it notes of printed books is also true of non-DRM'ed ePub book, except that non-DRM'ed ePubs respect your freedom even more—your freedom to freely copy and distribute it, your freedom to have it displayed by a screenreader or braille device.
If you want more free e-books, just go to m.gutenberg.org, find one, and open it in your app of choice.
- netcan 11y agoI don't disagree with this and neither does the article. It is however true that in the practice, in the wild, ebooks mostly do have DRM. Hence, it's a problem with e-books to the the extent that it is a problem.
