Don't hold out hope for a "Books Anywhere" service

Nate Hoffelder came across a post expressing hope that we’ll someday have a “books anywhere” service.

The author of the original post was inspired by the launch of a US-only service called Movies Anywhere, which lets you stream a film you bought on both the original service (Amazon Prime Video, for example) on a different one (say, AppleTV or Vudu).

Hoffelder agrees that having that feature for books would be fantastic — but he doesn’t want anyone to hold their breath.
