Great, now I honestly feel safe about buying from the iBookstore!
This can only lead to an increase in sales.
Did they not learn anything from the music industry? Sales have only gone up since they scrapped DRM! (citation needed)
- SoftwareMaven 15y agoI'm interested to see if this will be true for books as well. Taken in a continuum of attention required, you start with music, then to movies,and finally to books. As a result my ability to consume books is one to two orders of magnitude lower than music. That seems like it could impact the economics of discover-then-purchase that music "piracy"/"free marketing" has wrought. Regardless, I think it will always be good for the long tail authors.
