John Scalzi, Charlie Stross and I explain why Tor Books went DRM-free


Today I appeared in a group presentation of Tor Books authors — Charlie Stross, John Scalzi and me — and Macmillan USA's Executive Vice President for Digital Publishing and Technology — Fritz Foy — at Book Expo America in New York City. We were there to explain to the publishing world why Tor Books is the first major publisher to go DRM-free for its ebooks, and what's coming next:

In addition, Foy officially announced that a new Tor/Forge DRM-free e-book store will debut here on Tor.com in late summer, 2012.

Tor.com has a write-up of our remarks. I believe there'll be a video soon, as well.
