|
| |
I have a problem with my e-books. I can't keep up with my reading. I am now more than half way through "Anathem" and am enjoying it overall.

This article gets a couple of things wrong
|
| |
Ho-hum. Another article about the "napsterization" of e-books. Shock, horror. Alarums and excursions. Mr. Stross is only the latest of many to notice that, if more people are reading e-books, e-book "piracy" might actually damage the industry.
