Yes, DRM is the problem. But, I hold no hope of getting rid of it until the existing crop of Executives at the currently Big Publishing Houses disappear.

DRM is fine with a rental model. But, only the public libraries have that at present.

In the meantime, perhaps we can help with some ideas to make the best of the existing situation. Vendors like PocketBook cannot change DRM. But, they might be adaptable enough to make the best of a bad situation and carve out a piece of this market in the process.

What could a deal between Amazon and PocketBook bring to Amazon?
- a new convenient, ultra portable form factor eReader
- a touch screen option
- legitimize a multi-vendor, multi-platform standard
