Steve Jobs wants the music industry to sell music without restrictions. I can’t agree with this idea more. Restrictions on digital media like music and books can only serve to inhibit the growth of e media.
“Imagine a world where every online store sells DRM-free music encoded in open licensable formats,” he writes. “In such a world, any player can play music purchased from any store, and any store can sell music which is playable on all players. This is clearly the best alternative for consumers, and Apple would embrace it in a heartbeat.”

Jane is a long time romance reader whose passion is, you guessed it, reading. Jane also does not like to talk about herself in the third person, but apparently this is the way that this biography thing works (although in a true biography, someone else would be writing this blurb). Anyway, currently Jane loves urban fantasy authors Patricia Briggs and Ilona Andrews. She's really excited about this year's crop of historicals including Joanna Bourne's
The Spymaster's Lady and Sherry Thomas'
Private Arrangements and the upcoming Loretta Chase
Her Scandalous Ways.
She's looking for a good contemporary author. Email her with a recommendation!
