Now maybe there is some corporate stuff or something you don't anyone to see either, but I for one wouldn't put any work stuff on my Kindle. It's all mine and it's all leisure. Of course, this is just my opinion, but those people who carry around their office stuff 24-7 are crazy. Few people lay on their deathbed and wished that they would have worked more or read more work-related books before they passed. 
Anyway, when it comes to TOS or DRM or whatnot, if that's what makes ebooks take off, then I will live with it as long as it's easy for me to grab my stuff and read.... |
I do have work files on my Iliad and would do so on any e-reader I owned. However my work folder is only ever opened whilst I am at work. I am often out in the field during work hours and having access to documents is very helpful. Having access to my general reading material whilst waiting in court is even better
