Hi James, One philosophical reason (as well as a practical one), you can do more with a non-dedicated ereader device. It is just as easy to access free content from such devices. Then again this is my personal opinion and anyone can buy and get use any device they choose. regards Keith Am 29.10.2012 um 15:36 schrieb James Simmons <nicestep@gmail.com>:
Keith,
I agree about The Review. However, I do have both a Kindle and a Nook plus a Vizio tablet. While all of them support DRMed content, you can easily get PG books and IA books on them. Also, as one who sells books on the Kindle site Amazon does not force you to use DRM. It is an option every author has, but nobody forces or even encourages you to choose it. None of my nine books on the Kindle Store have any DRM. The one caveat is that if you choose to use DRM you can't change your mind later. However going from no DRM to DRM is doable. I think Amazon offers DRM because their best selling authors require it from them.
There probably is a way to get PG books on a Kindle Fire. Rather than write a review PG should figure out how to do it and write an article on that. I think they already have one on how to get PG books on various devices.
Dedicated devices like the Kindle and the Nook are a blessing to the free e-book community. There is no good philosophical reason not to get one.
