True, I guess. I much prefer PDF (because they keep the original formatting), but I guess an alternative could be EPUB books with the dreaded DRM enabled. If somebody is stupid enough to give away what they purchased with their hard earner money, I guess they are the fools. This still doesn't improve the concern of the editor/publisher I guess. :-( I can say that [where possible], I re-purchased all my printed books in ebook format. And now that I have them in ebook format, and noticed how convenient it is, I don't know if I will ever purchase a printed book again. Though I will miss sitting Sunday afternoons in Borders or Waterstones, sipping a coffee while paging through my next purchase. :) > But I do not exclude that it will still happen. I'll be crossing my fingers then. ;-) Regards, - Graeme - -- fpGUI Toolkit - a cross-platform GUI toolkit using Free Pascal http://fpgui.sourceforge.net/ -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
