Amazon is up to something. Allowing DRM-free eBooks for Kindle.
Many thanks to Jorgen for a link to this gem at the Nieman Journalism Lab. Apparently Amazon has given the go ahead for some authors to publish eBooks for Kindle without digital rights management (DRM). DRM controls how consumers use the eBooks they purchase: how they read them and on what.
The changes in Amazon’s Digital Text Platform were noticed by Kindle publishers around Jan. 15th.
Very interesting development. More preparation for the arrival of Apple’s Tablet?
