Hopefully I understand this now! :lol:

I kind of feel like Barnes & Noble could advertise their (to me at least) better DRM.
Out of curiousity, do you really feel it's better to have your name and credit card # in the book file? I sure would not like that very much! If there is an easy way to strip DRM (and there is) I'm guessing it would be equally easy to extract and read that DRM should you get hold of a encrypted file (like if someone stole your reader).
If they advertised that I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be the only one saying "no way"!
Just proves how different we can be! And by that I'm absolutely NOT saying I'm any more "right" than you are! Just that we think differently, which after all is what make progress in the world!
