"We designed Google eBooks to be open."
How exactly is this open?
- jws 16y agoThe formats are open, ePUB and PDF. It is doesn't appear to me that you can actually download the files. • Android and iOS have dedicated reader apps that support offline reading. Something is downloaded, but it might well be DRM wrapped. • Web browser based reading appears to be online only. No mention of downloading and using your own native reader on a laptop. • The interesting one is the nook. For nook the book is transferred into the native nook reader. Sounds like there might be some way to get the book in that process, or maybe they have already DRM'd it with B&N's blessing. Please, I already have a book reading app I like. I don't want your vanity take on what a book reader should be. Just sell me the book.
