Discovery Communications may have been wooed because they might feel they have a valuable position at risk, as a major source of educational material. In fact, I had not realized or remembered that all of those channels were owned together [ http://corporate.discovery.com/our-company/ ]. The scent of monopolization is never too far from where you find Monopolysoft standing. Robert, I’d like to find out more along the lines of what you just mentioned.

That's all I want, something good to read PDFs on! Apparently this is too simple. Or I can theoretically email PDFs to Amazon whereupon they will deign to translate them to DRMed format for me. How nice of them. Where’s the book reader that just plays PDFs? That’s all I want, something good to read PDFs on! Apparently this is too simple.
