I'm afraid that the Norwegian publishers will use the same approach that US publishers do - sell the ebooks for the same price (or higher) as the hardcover or paperback version costs. Which for me seems fairly unfair as there is less costs involved when there is no physical copy of the book to produce and distribute. The question of whether the books will be DRM'ed, isn't really a question either. It will be interesting to see if they will publish previously published books though (and what publishers it is - there is no mention of what publishers are part of the deal). I know I have a couple of books on my wishlist. Mediumgeek: One more proud (iLiad) book reader out there, wonderful! :-D

I will definitely buy some Norwegian ebooks (assuming they are reasonably priced)! I am not Norwegian but I live in Norway, read Norwegian, and am a proud owner of an iLiad :)
