Note: this is DRM'd all to hell - but it does work.

Ok, enough talking. I'm going back to my book

DRM=No sale.

I never bought any Ebooks, what does DRM mean?

Digital Rights Management, basically copy protection that doesn't really eliminate the ability to copy something but puts all sorts of hurdles in the way of legitimate owners of a product. Common DRM glitches involve incompatability with common file readers (i.e. forcing you to use proprietary software), limits on the number of times you can consume the media, or adding nasty Trojans to your machine (as in the case of the recent Sony fiasco involving rootkits).

In this case, DRM means that you must use Aobe to read the .pdf and may have up to one other Adobe installation other than on the computer you used to download it - to do that reading.

This permits a simultaneous install on a desktop and laptop - but no more than that.

For the record, eReader now has A Feast For Crows in their format as well. DRM on this one is a lot less intrusive: you have to use their reader*, but there's no "registration" for the book beyond putting the credit card # you purchased the book with into the reader as your serial number.

* eReader is available for Windows, MacOS X, PalmOS, and Windows CE / Windows Mobile.
