Adobe's Digital Media Store Crippled by DRM and High Prices?
PDFZone reports that Adobe's Digital Media Store will soon shut it doors (Adobe to Shut Down Digital Media Store). Adobe spins this as due to the success of selling e-books through other websites such as Amazon, but an analyst has another take:
"There aren't the same production costs involved, [yet] there is usually little or no difference in price between e-books and their physical counterparts. And the physical book format is highly portable. You can lend to someone else, while e-books are constrained by the devices they can be read on. It's hard to share content [through e-docs] as it is with physical books and magazines," Wilcox [a senior analyst at Jupiter Research] said. For his part, Wilcox said he is baffled that e-books didn't pursue a lower-cost strategy to increase their adoption.
