Yes, actually you did. Virtually all mainstream new releases are DRM-protected and the respective epub files do not display nicely on the PRS-505. They should, at least I hope, display well on Kindle 3, particularly with the new Pearl screen.
I also find it highly debateable whether epub actually has a large advantage over other formats for an end-user. I have lately been buying Amazon books and converting these to LRF due to the fact that their website and pricing is superior to what is offered by competitors.
I would welcome an open non DRM-protected standard in ebook publishing; however, I am not convinced that the Adobe approach to DRM-protection with epub files is the way forward.
