I totally get your frustration. It's tough seeing copyright law sometimes overshadow the essence of sharing knowledge. Personally, I've had my fair share of worries about digital books. But you know what helped ease my concerns? Exploring platforms like KDP Amazon Book Publishing Services. It's not just about control; it's about accessibility too.

Now I don't feel so badly about my friend giving me all those free audio books.

Perhaps the time has come to boycott Penguin Random House.

That's a shame; it isn't a surprise however. Everything is about profits. I wonder what the author of Maus has to say, not that he has a lot of say depending on his contract.
