re DRM, it is illegal where I'm at and as far as I'm concerned it shouldn't be for personal use.

Regardless of the piracy issue, I think sales would increase if the manufacturers and eBook distributors all went to a common standard because users would have an easier time buying and reading what they want from multiple sources. In that case I'd buy *more* from Amazon, where I've spent close to $2000 in past few months, because I love Amazon's convenience to shop in one place. I'd venture to say that an eInk device that supported most of the current formats regardless of source would have tremendous sales.
