Check out the August 28th blog entry of Jerry Justianto's "Pocket PC eBooks Watch" blog. He has an interview with Peter Fry and Lee Fyock of Palm Digital Media (PDM). You know that super cool Palm Reader you are using on your Pocket PC? That is Peter's handiwork. It is so clear that PDM "gets it" when it comes to ebooks.
The interview mentions that PDM's format and ever so friendly method of DRM is available at Fictionwise and WHSmith and has been licensed to several ebook creators. Normally, I am all for competition, but in ebook formats, I would like to see on standard emerge as the clear victor and right now, it seems there is no stopping PDM. They have a powerful combination of great software, top notch tech support (rarely necessary!), DRM that treats me as a valued and trusted customer, a growing library and more licensees. Keep it up PDM!
If you have any interest in ebooks, you owe it to yourself to stop by the Palm Digital Media site and of course, Pocket PC eBook Watch.
