It looks like they are also working on selling ebooks in some way, which would be great.  My personal dream-scenario: <a href=\"www.tor.com\">Tor.com<\/a> hooks up with <a href=\"http:\/\/amazon.com\/\">Amazon.com<\/a> to sell DRM-free ebooks on the kindle and any other ebook reader as simple downloads.  I don&#8217;t know what format I like best, but one that works with <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fbreader.org\/\">FBReader<\/a> is what I want.  <\/p>\n<p>Hooking up with Amazon would be nice because when I think books, that is what I think, and they have a nice infrastructure set up already for web distribution (from <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/tg\/browse\/-\/163856011\/ref=topnav_storetab_dmusic\">their MP3 business<\/a>) and they know how to deal with large volume internet shopping.  <\/p>\n<p>Still, even if they set something up on their own, that is cool by me as long as I can pay a few bucks to get DRM-free ebooks that I can read on a variety of devices, and most importantly have the assurance that I can keep reading them in the future.  That is the big reason to avoid DRM in my mind.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is just a really short post to point out the blog entry on the now-live Tor.com that has a collection of links to all the free ebooks they released and all the desktop wallpapers.
