Once you buy a paper book, you can read it overseas, but e -books still have a tight DRM wall at the border!
Jim O'Donnell in the United States painted it painfully in Singapore, a business trip at a library meeting.
I had 30 or 40 e -books I bought on the Google Play app on the iPad, but I couldn't read one book on a business trip.The reason is that Singapore has not yet handled e -books on Google Play.
I don't know that, and as soon as I responded to the update as I was told, everything disappeared!?
I write from a business trip.
It is unknown whether Google Play, which is compatible with Android OS, has the same behavior, but it may be erased remotely ...When I checked it just in case, it was clearly stated in the Google Play Terms of Use.
After all, digital books buy "rights" instead of books.So, this right is troublesome, and there is an invisible binding (I have a hard time buying Kindle Japanese books from overseas, I have a hard time.)There should be no borders in the digital world.
