Some people say they want ePub support,

but how are we going to read/use ePub books if they are DRM protected anyway, let's say a B&N DRM protected book, breaking the protection? If that's the case, is basically what some folks are doing now, even without epUb support: break the DRM, once broken, convert from ePub to MOBI via Calibre. Am I missing something here?

I think the request should be, asking for DRM elimination, which of course I think is very unlikely. Or, request Public Library support via Kindle. Last one I'm sure would benefit some users.
