@flameeyes ouch, that’s quite a bit worse than I thought.

Recently there were three times I bought ebooks.

One was from the Talia store. It didn’t even work in their own reader, because they messed up the link in the DRM metadata file.

One was an epub for the kid that I then converted to PDF to print for analog reading.

One was a PDF that worked flawlessly — at a print on demand service so I’d have a book to take with me.

well

@flameeyes aside: yes, I spent hours trying to find the error in the Thalia #ebook just to find out that the very file that should allow decrypting the content — a file that was signed so I could not fix it without making it non-accepted by their reader-website — had a wrong link in it. #DRM prevents #repair, especially if you bought the good and could fix it otherwise.
