Not only which.. but if a book is infested?

Seems the point of my original question revolves around inferring what Jon was intending to communicate. The answer appears to be intuitive to those of you well versed in the world of ebooks. But to the newbie like me, it was much more open ended. Thanks for the explanation. You too, viviena.

I think it is better to assume that most people looking to buy a device are both new to the idea of ebooks and are incapable of stripping DRM (I don't consider myself to be a tech dummy but I will admit it took me a very long time to figure out how to strip even the B&N DRM).
I agree. I spent a lot of time figuring it out too. Siimple in retrospect, but complex in getting there. At least it was for me.
