Download the new Old Snook1/1/2024 ![]() ![]() Subscriptions help fund the work we do every day. While an ebook subscription might sound ideal, you should take some time to consider the pros and cons of each one. ![]() These digital reading services are often billed as the equivalent of Netflix or Spotify for books, and there are similarities, but ebook subscriptions also have some unexpected restrictions.Ĭontent: All ebook subscription services offer limited libraries of ebooks. (This is where the Netflix comparison is useful.) They may boast more than a million titles, but that total doesn’t necessarily include any works by your favorite authors none of the services we tested had a single title by Cormac McCarthy, for example, though some had audiobooks of his works. The big five publishers (Penguin Random House, Hachette, Macmillan, HarperCollins, and Simon & Schuster) dominate the bestseller charts in the US but have had limited dealings with ebook subscription services so far. ![]() Just to be clear, I don't believe the Apple Configurator allows you to actually un-redeem VPP codes.Current best-seller lists are not well represented, and the modest list of mainstream hits that appears mostly comprises older titles. Once redeemed through Apple Configurator, those codes will forever be attached to the Apple ID used to redeem them, just as they would be through iTunes. What Apple Configurator adds is an extra layer of tracking, allowing you to identify not only which codes are redeemed but which specific iOS device the app resides on. ![]() When you un-assign an app through Apple Configurator, it makes it available for use on any other iOS device managed through Apple Configurator - but it does not seem to allow you to go and re-redeem the app through another Apple ID. Previously, you would have redeemed a single VPP code through iTunes, then manually tracked how many iOS devices that app resides on, and leaves you "on your honor" to verify that you only use as many copies of the app as you have licenses for. This paragraph is what has me hesitant about VPP redemption for cart situations With Apple Configurator, it seems to force you to redeem *all* the codes, but then lets you assign them to specific iOS devices and track which devices they are currently on.Įven with that caveat, I'd have to say that this is definitely the most promising app that Apple has released in a while, particularly for a cart scenario. ![]()
