Lawsuit Over eBook Prices?

[jumpuphigh]

According to the Wall Street Journal:

The Justice Department has warned Apple Inc. and five of the biggest U.S. publishers that it plans to sue them for allegedly colluding to raise the price of electronic books, according to people familiar with the matter.

This could possibly be very, very good for consumers. Now, we just need something to be done about DRM.

While we're at it, can we also have something done about bad editing of ebooks too? Or is that asking for waaaay too much? ;p

What? You want a book to be well edited? Sheesh. So picky.

;)

Yeah, that's what I figured. *sighs*

Hey, and I didn't even ask for it to actually have plot, good characterizations, or that it be well researched for accuracy in details. Good grief! >.<;

Oh, now you are just living in fantasy-land, aren't you?

*giggles*

Yes, but it's so much more pleasant here. *snickers*

And you should feel sorry for me that I just finished reading a book -- two books back to back by different authors -- with men who cry at the drop of a hat. Often. Sobbing hysterically. They call each other ridiculous pet names all over the place, they declare their undying twoo wub within hours of meeting each other, they go about doing this and that for "his man", and... and... *gags*

[jumpuphigh]

I support living in fantasy-land and yes, so very sorry for you.

Good! It's really stupid that we sometimes pay more for the ebook than the paperback costs. What is an ebook, but a data file? It's not like it has to be printed and shipped; it's an electronic file that should be a whole lot cheaper than it is!
