The new forums will be named Coin Return (based on the most recent vote)! You can check on the status and timeline of the transition to the new forums here.
The Guiding Principles and New Rules document is now in effect.
So I want to get into eBooks, but I am scared of them because of rumors of DRM and an unclear future as to how I will experience them.
As it is I simply want to try out reading a few things on my laptop and iPhone and see how the consumption format treats me, but I don't know from where I should get them or in what format I should aim for. I don't want to be tied to any one specific device, or DRM'd into a corner by them.
I'm in Australia, so, where does one buy eBooks from and what's a format I should aim for?
On your iphone look for an App called Stanza, very good reading app and has tons of free books plus a good store for buying your own. Plus you can upload downloaded books (anything from Lit to ePub to TXT to PDF) onto it fairly easily.
