Barnes And Noble Just Took Your eBooks Away From You
Posted by Ed Hansberry in "THOUGHT" @ 10:00 AM
We've received several emails from Barnes & Noble eBook customers with the following note:
:evil: If there was ever an acceptable argument for DRM5 encrypted eBooks, it just died. Let me explain what this means. If you buy a new device, hard reset your current device, do a full ROM upgrade or MS does another MS Reader upgrade that requires you to redownload your eBooks and you purchased them from BN.com, you are out of luck.
Long live Peanut Press! :rock on dude!:
