What does Jeff Bezos think is going to happen? | The Reinvigorated Programmer

Mon, 06 Jul 2026 06:33:23 +0000

But of course I won’t buy a new Kindle, when this one is perfectly functional. I’ll just pirate the book that I have already paid for. I will find somewhere that I can download a non-DRM-crippled copy of the book, and put it on my device that I have also already paid for.

Outlawed by Amazon DRM « Martin Bekkelund

Mon, 22 Oct 2012 15:01:55 +0000

Amazon wipes a woman's Kindle and shuts down her account. This is why I strip the DRM from every Kindle book I buy, and archive each away on my home server. And, also, why I rarely buy Kindle books.

John Resig - Secret Omens: Book Update

Fri, 13 Jul 2012 15:45:37 +0000

To the point of Jeff’s post, I would absolutely not write a technical book again. It’s a tedious process and unless you LOVE writing and are really good at it (like Nicholas Zakas or Dave Flanagan) then I suggest that you stick with the medium that is truly successful: Writing long-form articles/blog posts and possibly spinning them off into purchasable ebooks. (As an example, I’d point to Juriy Zaytsev and Peter-Paul Koch both of whom could get any JavaScript position in the world purely based upon the quality of their articles and sites, without ever having written a book.)

The end of ebook development – Baldur Bjarnason

Tue, 08 May 2012 05:35:24 +0000

In this world there wouldn’t be any ebook developers any more than you have .doc developers. The fact that we have an industry of people whose job description is close to indistinguishable from ‘fixes office documents by hand in a hex editor’ is insane.
