I can't say what the important point is for everyone, but any of us that own Sony Readers (or iPods for that matter) would be supporting DRM by owning the hardware. However none of us have to buy the DRMed products to use the hardware so that is support of varying degrees. There's nothing stopping me from downloading or buying non-DRMed works and putting them on the Kindle just like our Sony folks are doing. I was originally hoping for the Bookeen or HanLin products to suit my need. Cybook is pretty darned close. So far the Kindle is closest to the feature set I want. I may buy some content from Amazon. Most of it will be from other places. I hope eventually they learn the value of open formats. I'm not going to hold my breath.
