Computers were like this until the IBM PC came along and published their specs. Most of you are too young to remember CP/M. Who's the biggest ebook seller. I'd have to guess Amazon. What if they published their specs and DRM and said, "Let's all get together and sell books." Except Apple, of course-they don't join anybody.

I cut my teeth on CP/M, back in 1982.
You don't understand, it is just like VHS vs Betamax. All the ebook publishers want to have a standard DRM. It's just that they all want their own DRM to be the standard, and nobody is willing to budge.
