Since they are being sold *with* memory cards pre-installed, why does that matter?

Fictionwise didn't drop DRM on the ebookwise. If you look on ebookwise, some books are marked "secure" the ones from big publishers who require encryption, and some are not, from the smaller publishers who don't require encryption.
