Not quite up there with Congress shall make no law, but still:
At the publisher's request, this title is being sold without Digital Rights Management software (DRM) applied.
All Tor ebooks have gone DRM-free. Baen ebooks always have been. Between them, they cover some huge percentage of the science fiction market, so this is good news for recent Nexus 7 purchasers.
Now if there was just a way to import third-party books into the Google Reader app...
Update: What the hell? Kage Baker's The Graveyard Game is only availble on Barnes & Noble (for Nook only) and Apple's US store (for iThing only). Neither Amazon nor Kobo have it.
Update: Ah, it's a "not available in Australia" thing. Of course, it's not available in Australia by any other means either - unless you import the same edition from the same publisher as a physical book. That's stupid.
Update: Returned the first three books in the series for refund. At least Amazon made that part easy, because you can't turn off 1-Click for Kindle purchases, and there's no way to know in advance that it's going to refuse to sell you anything past the third volume of a series.
Update x4: Coincidentally, Ars Technica has an article on the spavined weevils at Hachette UK who are behind all my ebook problems. Two weeks ago I'd never heard of Hachette; now they are synonymous with overpriced and DRM-crippled. A Hachette job, so to speak.
