Yeah, I read most of my books on an e-reader. I’ve tried to pay for my ebooks but I’ve rapidly stopped. It’s such an horror shitshow. They managed to recreate the same DRM nonsense which didn’t worked for the movie and music industry. The final straw was that time where I bought an ebook on a popular library website. I tried to open it on my computer, I knew it had DRM so I wasn’t surprised to have to install this Adobe DRM nonsense. However during the installation, I just clicked on « Skip » when they asked for my Adobe account. Yeah it worked ! I could read my ebook on my computer, now it’s time to transfer it to my Adobe DRM compatible e-reader. Well, fat chance, Mr book "owner", your book has been linked to your computer and not to your ereader Adobe account, you are stuck. I said a lot of words kids shouldn’t hear that day. In fact, I love e-reader, it’s practical, it’s lightweight, you can throw your entire library on a tiny sd card but I can’t stand this arrogance. Contrary to digital music or movies, books are still superior objects in all aspects. They are sometimes beautiful, you can do what you want with them. You can own them or give them or borrow them or … And still, the industry thinks they can sell you those unpractical DRM files at mostly the same price (when it’s not more) ? That’s arrogant and they can go f themselves. Now I only buy real books and anything on my ereader comes from Z-Library or a torrent tracker. At least they are files I can own.
