eBook Piracy is on the rise in 2019
- aiscapehumanity 7y agoIts better than not. Anyone thinking books are somehow an exception to rapid, porous, and inevitable digital information distribution pheonmenon is drinking publishers delight kool aid. Aside from that, wasnt it microsoft or someone who shut their book service down and initially locked users out from their spent products only to allow pdf exports after outcry? For many reasons it shouldn't be a surprise piracy for ebooks has risen... Not to mention the college textbook saga
- ntw1103 7y agoIt. really isn't surprising to me, when the legal ebook purchasing system is filled with DRM, and broken reader programs. Amazon's kindle program drains the battery on my phone like crazy, and Kobo doesn't render correctly. I'm still trying to figure how what to do with the book I just purchased on Kobo that isn't readable on their app. It only displays the top left 1/4th of the page.
