Oh, is Sony going DRM free in their european store?
Cause, last I heard, Adobe DRM is *still* proprietary. Adobe still controls if a book will or not open on your gadget or reading app.
Lock in to Adobe is not terribly different than lock-in to Amazon, B&N, or Apple.
The only fully open and transportable way to get ebooks is DRM-free.
The rest is just fiddling on the margins.
