A glimmer of hope.
I stumbled across FBReader, a linux free application that works with most ebook formats. Couple of upsides, I could add any book regardless of company or format, but I would either have to download them illegally or purchase them and find a way to break the security on the file for viewing.
I would also have to find an ereader that I could put a functioning version of linux on.
I’m not sure if avoiding DRM is worth that trouble yet.
I really have been looking for an ereader service that varies from the you buy it, we own it bull*edited*. I would pay a monthly fee if it meant I could access any book at anytime. Even if the fee was really high. I do enough reading from textbooks to reading for research (gg history) that I would pay for it. Yea I wouldn’t own the book, but I would have the ability to see ANY book ANY time. I think that is worth the trade off.
meh wishful thinking.
