What platforms does LibreDigital support? I guess I won’t be buying any e-books from S&S any time soon, as I expect “Safe and secure access to our books” means DRM, and I don’t do DRM.
I went to the LD website, and it’s all business mentality stuff. Not a single thing on their front page is aimed at people who actually read books. This is extremely depressing. And with DRM, I won’t be buying any S&S books anytime soon either.
