Looks good. Makes me wish even more that Amazon had been able to keep the $9.99 pricing on ebooks. At that price, I'd probably buy many ebooks. But for 50% more

Looks good. Makes me wish even more that Amazon had been able to keep the $9.99 pricing on ebooks. At that price, I'd probably buy many ebooks. But for 50% more, the public library will still be my #1 choice.
- roc 17y agoI don't mind the higher prices, but they do need to add features to compensate. $10 was a hard-sell because it was only available on platforms Amazon feels like supporting, only has the features Amazon feels like supporting (no search? no annotation?) can't be lent, can't be resold/gifted/donated, etc. FairPlay is (slightly) more consumer-friendly as a DRM package, but I'm still bound to the 'blessed' apps of the service, the features and platforms they feel like supporting, still can't resell/gift/donate, etc. Again, it's not price that keeps me away from most ebooks. It's price/performance. I still buy a few. Here and there. But I'm not building a library of the things the way I have with mp3 and h264.
