Your experience of e-books

[binkie]

picard1109, thanks for sharing your experiences of e-books.


The academic environment is one of the most frustrating for DRM. This is because academic consortia represent massive income streams for e-book vendors, and they exert the most vice-like controls they can to ensure maintenance of this income. The exception is Springer, which extends no DRM to users. If you are studying a science or other technical subject (construction, medicine, engineering, etc.), your university should have a license agreement with Springer. Of course, this doesn't help you at all if you are studying a humanities or arts subject
