E-books discussed on The Writing Show—DRM hassles included

By David Rothman

The Writing Show’s e-book interview with me is now online.

Among other things, I reminded Paula Berinstein, the show’s stellar host and producer, that you can’t own DRMed books for real.

I’m sorry that Amazon unwittingly vindicated us DRM skeptics—she’s one, too—several weeks after we recorded the show.

Just put yourself in the place of students like Justin Gawronski, 17, a high school student in Michigan who lost access to his notes, not just to the Orwell novels that Amazon zapped (1984).
