Tor/Forge SF publisher to make ebooks DRM-free

Laura Hazard Owen for paidContent:

Macmillan science fiction/fantasy imprint Tor/Forge — the publisher of titles like Orson Scott Card’s “Ender’s Game” — will sell its e-books DRM-free as of “early July 2012,” the company announced today.

This is great news for fantasy and science fiction enthusiasts who want to buy content unencumbered with restrictions on how it can interact with devices or apps – a very real problem when buying ebooks from Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble or even through Apple’s iBooks.

Tor publishes books from Orson Scott Card, Whitley Strieber, Robert Jordan, John Scalzi and many others.
