This is what I want as a consumer.

I want to be able to download books DRM free from ANY bookstore onto whatever reader I have. I want to be able to transfer those same books onto any new reader of my choice without having to do any stripping or converting.

I want a common platform for all books to make this as easy as possible for all of us.

I will not pay hard cover prices for Ebooks, I will wait for the release of the MMPB, at which time the Ebook should be released at a LOWER price than the MMPB. Depending on the price then I will decide if I want to buy it.

Right now I am seriously debating whether or not to start exploring the darknet to see how complicated and safe it is to download all of my books that I have purchased that are drm'd. I'm starting to explore getting a tablet and it seems that most of them don't accept drm'd books, but I will want them on my tablet so that leaves me to get these books free of drm.

I don't share my books whether Ebooks or paperbacks so that has never been an issue for me. But I want to be able to read my books on any hardware that I have.

It's not something that I want to do, but publishers have left me no choice in this matter.
