That applies to Adept-DRM'ed epubs in the PB Reader app, not the IQ itself. The IQ has no DRM issues in other apps. (...) Until the PB Reader app is finalized, the IQ is a perfectly fine generic Android 2.0 webpad. If/when the finalized PB apps and 2.2 update materialize the value equation might imoorove but intil then...
You're quite right, but don't you think a device which is advertised as being able to display DRM'd content should perform this by using the built-in firmware and reading app?

This is neither the first DRM-capable device Pocketbook built nor the first time the Adept-DRM is used in any device.
Right now DRM support is missing as much as TTS on the IQ as you buy it. You have to install additional, third-party reading apps to fill the gap. This stunt has never ever been pulled with any dedicated reading device of any company I know.

And the IQ is clearly advertised as reading device, not as tablet!

But I stand corrected if proven (however unlikely) wrong.
