I'm still amazed by the state of that industry. Why paying for an eBook for nearly the same price as a printed book gives you a file you don't own and you can't use, while piracy gives you a file you can use like an actual book?
When buying a book, I can read it where I want, in as many places I want, on as many couches I want, and I can even lend it to a friend. And that's legal.
Wasn't technology supposed to make the future better?

This is why we make an effort to support publishers who sell DRM free and outside the walled-garden ecosystems. We recently got the Angry Robot subscription. Everything they publish DRM free for £100 a year. (Way less than the paperback price)
