The War on CarsToday is the last day to get the e-book edition of LIFE AFTER CARS for just $1.99 at Bookshop Dot Org and other sellers!
GLCIs it DRM-free? I don't see anything about the format in the listing at bookshop.org, other than the uninformative label "ebook."
đŗī¸âđ Bri đđ´đąâ¨@glc https://bookshop.org/info/ebooks#EBOOKFAQ the FAQ doesn't really clear it up either. Some ebooks are DRM-free, if the publisher offers it. No information about how to identify which books are distributed that way âšī¸
Brian Campbell@cargot_robbie @glc @TheWarOnCars I looked around at other titles, and ones which are DRM-free have a prominent DRM-Free badge on their page.
See for example: https://bookshop.org/p/books/wolf-worm-t-kingfisher/02d097c3b2df2d65?ean=9781250829832&next=t
So it looks like this one is not DRM-Free. Which means I'm not going to buy it. Bummer, as otherwise it would be an easy impulse purchase.
NNNI bought it from Bookshop.org (yay!). I also have it reserved at the library, but I'm #46 on the list... :-|
When I click the 3-dot menu below the book, there is no Download option.
If it were DRM, I think it would be there (websearch "bookshop.org drm free download")
...so if purchased at Bookshop, it can *only* be read in the Bookshop.org app or web (or maybe Kobo e-ink reader later this year).
If there's no download option, then you don't own it, you're leasing it and not even being given a choice of reader.
That's horrible. I tend to think it can't be quite that bad, and there's probably a download option.
Anyway if that doesn't bother you you'll probably find the book itself rewarding. You can let us know.
