My point was, Jon, that Derek is doing this review in his role as a member of the NAEB board, and NAEB aren't interested in DRM (it specifically says so in their
Mission Statement). Producing a review for NAEB can therefore be done without reference to DRM.
Speaking for myself, I completely agree with your sentiments. The reason I intend to buy a Gen 3 is specifically because it
does support Mobipocket DRM (or at least it will by the time it's released), and I've chosen to adopt MobiPocket DRM as my favoured DRM standard specifically because doing so gives me the greatest flexibility.
