prc - DRM'd, requiring Mobipocket software, which is Windows-only.
Why does the epublishing industry want to prevent me from putting the titles I've purchased onto a portable device? I'd like to be a good citizen, but this behavior on the part of the industry encourages piracy.

One place here where you are very wrong is about the PRC DRM format. While there is no software for
OS X to view DRM laden mobi format. you can still purchase and download such using your MAC. All you need is the PID from the Gen3 to input to the site to then download the Mobi file. The mobi file can be copied to the gen3 and read fine. When you plug the Gen3 into the USB port, it is seen as a USB mass storage device. So there should not be any problem copying the PRC file (full of DRM goodness) on to the the Gen3 to then use the Gen3 to read this book. So being able to purchase and read Mobi format books with the Gen3 does not need Windows based software.
