It might seem overblown but what of people who mostly do want to read books that are DRM-only? Not that I'll be one of them, honestly. I want a Sony Reader to read reformatted PDFs I have littering my harddrive and things from Project Gutenberg and other sources.

What do you read thats 99.9% non-DRM? It seems like most newer books released as an ebook get some sort of strongbox protection. I think your statement that if you read something once, it won't matter as much... But I think the same thing applies to printed libraries. Most thing I want to read only once I'll find at the library, hopefully, and either really enjoy and buy it or not. Including the newest books. How this could possibly work with DRMed new ebooks, I'm unsure. I frankly find it surprising a lot of these DRM hounds aren't trying to set up something for libraries as well. Reading books for free? Preposterous! Look at those lost profits! - Colt
