Today NRC brought the news: Bol.com and CPNB are coming with an e-book reader for everyone. Anyone who registers for a LeesID-account can read and administer books from several webshops in a digital bookcase.
LeesID also has it’s disadvantages:
- LeesID is administering your books on it’s own
computers; - LeesID knows what you are reading;
- You have to log-in first;
- No support for free operating systems.
Free Software offers you e-book readers such as Calibre and FBReader.
- You administer your e-books yourself;
- The developers do not know what you are reading;
- You do not need to log-in;
- Support for free operating systems;
- A collection of DRM-free
e-books.
The choice is up to you.
