Which proves that DRM is not "common sense".

Ahhh... So you are saying that I need to use a closed, proprietary operating system made by an abusive monopoly to use a closed, proprietary eBook format...
Sorry, but I still fail to see where this is "common sense".
Common sense tells us that closed, proprietary formats create monopolies.
Common sense also tells us that monopolies are bad. Immediately bad for the consumer and, in the long term, bad for the industry.
