Subject: [bookport] New Audio Book Site and NO D R M
Greetings,
I ran across this today and thought it was pertinent to BookPort users:
"eMusic fights Audible with DRM-free books Online music retailer eMusic
today revealed that it will begin selling audiobooks through its web-based
portal, potentially upturning the traditionally closed-off digital audiobook
industry. Reflecting the company's existing approach to albums and songs,
eMusic will sell a selection of books in MP3 format. This will allow
virtually any computer or handheld to play the files regardless of format
support and will let users copy songs freely -- a break from books offered
at Audible, iTunes, and similar stores, which often apply copy-protection to
each song."
There is more to the article. You may read it in it's entirety at
<http://www.macnn.com/articles/07/09/17/emusic.audiobooks/>.
So, it looks like we can now purchase less expensive and unprotected Audio
books. The eMusic audio books page is at
<http://www.emusic.com/audiobooks/index.html>.
Regards,
Don...
