CanalPDA.com, a Spanish-language publication, has summed up the pros and cons of ebooks. The list should be instructive, especially for DRM fanatics:
Pros: (1) Convenience, (2) compactness, (3) privacy (harder for others to see what you’re reading) and (4) completeness (can include audio interview with writer, for example).
Cons: (1) price gouges, which tend to favor publishers rather than writers, (2) not enough in languages other than English, (3) not enough titles in e-book format in general, and (4) DRM systems that range from “annoying” to “the ridiculous.”
