I haven't read the whole thread so I apologize if I'm duplicating comments by others. I saw PDFs listed in #13 with non-DRM'd formats but wondered if anyone thinks that Digital Editions will become a DRM'd format that ebook readers would support directly. I've assumed Sony, for example, would just provide a means to convert to LRF retaining the DE DRM. But I think others here thought Sony's implementation might be different from that and that DE might become an ebook format supported on its own. If that were possible, whether Sony implements it or not, we would want to see Adobe DE supported by the proposed multiformat reader, correct? I have several such ebooks but of course can't read them anywhere except on my PC for now.
