Many thanks to our friend Jorgen who provided a link to an interesting discussion over at FUTUReBOOK.com about the future of eBooks on the web and the trouble with DRM. The post by Tom Williams ponders whether Google Editions has already won the eBook war with their cloud-based eBooks versus the proprietary formats offered by Amazon, Apple iPad and etc.
I think it’s still too early for a conclusion on this. The mainstream consumer still has to speak, and by the look of the poster after the article, some people just want to read on an eBook reader and are happy without the distracting net-experience that come with multifunction devices.
