Amazon - closed and although many play Adobe DRM epub is not epub is not epub. Shame really.<br /><br />Re $99 price point its a given that it must happen but the majority of these guys make little money on the transaction /content so once sale done that's it. <br /><br />Personally if i were Amazon i would give them away on a book subscription (which would include physical, audio and ebooks and create a new club with no book of the month!) That would give a death blow to all but the likes of B&N as no one else could really match it and the close the net even tighter.Martyn Danielshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02134633193540004531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35428618.post-81894787739347933092010-08-18T00:22:19.325+00:002010-08-18T00:22:19.325+00:00Not sure if you noticed, but recently there has be...Not sure if you noticed, but recently there has been a price drop on the Barnes and Noble nook device as well as the kindle (which seem to be the big two in battle right now). With Wifi versions starting at a mere $139 I think the whole market for eReader devices may start booming. I do agree with you that the $99 price point will be the true incentive for everyone. I just wish that my ePub books worked on other devices that "support" ePub. *sigh*Eric Lozauskashttp://www.ericlozauskas.comnoreply@blogger.com
