Another nice benefit of paper is that the company that sold it can't just bust down your door, steal the book, drop off a few bucks, and then go back along their merry way. Amazon did exactly this with, amongst other books, 1984. Such a perfectly appropriate book.
- kstrauser 3y agoNone of my ebooks are infected with DRM. Lots of online stores will sell you ebooks without that nonsense.

- lannisterstark 3y agoI don't think they can do that with my calibre, and calibre-web collection lol.
- lithiumii 3y agoBut if you accidentally exposed your calibre-web online, they may be able to DMCA you?
- theshrike79 3y agoIf someone a) finds my calibre-web installation on the public internet b) manages to crack my username and password to log in c) scan the contents d) notify the correct rights holders e) send a subpoena for pirating content ...they can get my money.
- lannisterstark 3y agoAccidentally? My calibre-web is actually exposed online :P It doesn't list any books that I have publicly though. All you'll see is a login prompt. Books? what books? You can't DMCA me because I only have gutenberg collections in there ;)
