To put it into real world terms: Sony has claimed on a couple of occasions that they want to support other encrypted formats on the PRS line -- what formats do we (this community) already have that we'd like them to support.
Of course, in an ideal world they'd support a single, "standard" format, and all of our old books would be re-downloadable in that single, "standard" format, but I was dreaming a slightly smaller dream at the time I put the poll together.
Also I was curious as to what dedicated e-book formats MobileReaders use or have used in the past. That's probably the "mainer" point of the poll, if I'm totally forthcoming about it.  |
I did not see this poll as a DRM question at all but rather what format of eBooks need to be supported. Why does everything have to degenerate into a DRM question. The support for mulitple formats is not just a DRM question since even non-DRM eBooks need to be read by something!
