So don't get too smug. Sony could decide not to do further business with you as well. As could anyone else.
True, but now with the firmware update, even if they turned off the "LRX spigot," we could still get ePub documents on the device. If you read the Amazon uses DMCA to restrict where you can buy e-books thread, Amazon is now saying that you aren't even entitled to know your device's PID, which is what you would need to install DRM'ed Mobipocket books from other sellers onto your Kindle.
