Comments on: DRMed Kindle e-books vs. unshackled music in standard MP3 format: When will the media ask about the obvious? http://www.teleread.org/blog/2008/04/06/drmed-kindle-e-books-vs-unshackled-music-in-standard-mp3-format-when-will-the-press-ask-about-the-obvious/ News & views on e-books, libraries, publishing and related topics Thu, 04 Dec 2008 23:01:20 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Joseph Gray http://www.teleread.org/blog/2008/04/06/drmed-kindle-e-books-vs-unshackled-music-in-standard-mp3-format-when-will-the-press-ask-about-the-obvious/#comment-756418 Joseph Gray Mon, 07 Apr 2008 22:28:25 +0000 http://www.teleread.org/blog/2008/04/06/drmed-kindle-e-books-vs-unshackled-music-in-standard-mp3-format-when-will-the-press-ask-about-the-obvious/#comment-756418 Just a suggestion... Since the Kindle will read a non-DRMed Mobipocket ebook, perhaps authors like yourself should go that route and not use the Kindle-only format at all. If enough authors do that, Amazon will notice. They may not do anything about it, but they will notice. Just a suggestion…

I'm highly annoyed that the Kindle edition of my self-published must include DRM. I've heard that, with Mobipocket, publishers are at least given an option as to whether they wish to use DRM. “Surely not every publisher wants books in DRMed eBabel”

Yes, exactly. I’m highly annoyed that the Kindle edition of my self-published must include DRM. I’ve heard that, with Mobipocket, publishers are at least given an option as to whether they wish to use DRM.
