All your books are belonging to us
The following column exposes a terrifying possibility with that trendy innovation, the ebook, as typified by Amazon's Kindle. Such books have "digital strings" that can yank them away from you.
I know that right now I prefer to have an actual paper-bound book in my hands. But I also remember saying that I was going to keep using cassette tapes. You can probably guess how long I was able to keep that up.
E books and readers are the thing of the future. I don't think we need to worry about this kind of stuff yet, ECD. Although, it is a bit scary.
Interesting stuff.
