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.

PDB is not eReader format. The PDB supported by Cybook is the Palm Doc format which MobiPocket also supports. There is no DRM for that format. I would certainly like to see them support eReader in non-DRM but I suspect there is a license restriction from MobiPocket on the DRM support requiring them to only support MobiPocket DRM. But this is only conjecture based on data on the iLiad.
They also support PDF in non-DRM format. And they say other formats are coming.
