Books: a variety of ways to purchase, with products a uniform quality. Yes, the file sizes are tiny, but it's true, they are as they should be, they are adjustable to the device you use, and have extra - useful - features because of digitalisation.
Audio: a variety of services offering pretty much the same stuff. Spotify is basic but works. Tidal is higher quality. My disappointment comes from the fact that it is still region-dependent, I cannot sign up for Tidal where I am. There is also stuff like Bandcamp for those who want to be 'closer'.
well i'd like to buy books from a source that's not amazon or with DRM. bandcamp is nice becuase i get the actual audio files, i dont want streaming. I avoid spotify and garbage like that. I'm looking at buying CD's and ripping them becuase i don't know how else to buy music where i get the audio files for me to store.
ok
lol...
