    There are so many completely free readers for the Palm why bother with ones that try to corner you with restrictions? As for ebooks, I won’t bother with locked books because I’ve had the experience of buying books then having my computer get problems requiring change of hardware then finding that all the books I’d bought no longer work open. Locked books can’t be owned, only rented. You can’t pass them down to your children. This is a big loss for authors, as sharing books (person to person and via libraries) was always how people learned of new authors. Take that away and the ebook market stagnates… as it has done. The only ebooks that are booming are unprotected ones. Baen Books, TOR Books, Project Gutenberg, and so on. I wonder when the industry will learn to respect and trust their customers instead of treating them all as crooks.
