But from that point of view, even if Apple included a native ADOBE DRM ePub reader, or, heck, even if they changed ibooks to use that system today, they could still change their mind again tomorrow.
So could B&N, so could Amazon. Adobe could change their system and break all existing readers. Admittedly, the Apple scenario is the most likely of those....
But still, if we are to be concerned about that, ereaders would be relegated to those users who want to maintain their own firmware builds.....
I don't mean to be championing the iPad, by the way. For myself, the 5.5G Video iPod was the last Apple consumer product I liked. The Apple ][+ was the last Apple computer I used, too...I just don't know that these particular concerns should hold too much weight in a buying decision. Things change. C'est la vie.
