Sugar coat it any way you want, they can use any excuse, justificationn, they want about some stupid N10 and other crap. I bought my books, I have the right to transfer them to another reader if I want.
They want to steal my books away from me, and that "ain't" happening. That to me is what DRM really is, their method to control my books and limit me in what I can do with them.

Well, in reality, buying an e book isn't exactly like buying a car, popular misconceptions to the contrary. Sorry you missed that.
I will say that there is a lot publishers can do to mitigate the effects of DRM. One thing could be to provide a path for someone who wants to migrate from one player to another.But they could do that without abolishing DRM altogether.
I must say, that this and many other posts seem to be saying "DRM is an annoyance to me. They should get rid of it and if it means that the livelihods of people in the publishing industry are undermined, well, f**k 'em. "
This is not a winning argument IMO.
