EDIT: As for DRM, I've no use for it. All my Kindle books have been duly stripped of this abusive restrictions on my reading... And yes, Mr. Jordan, I've paid for ebooks, from good authors.
Damn pirates, they've already cost me £60trillion in lost sales this month alone. What we need is an ebook reader that checks for the existence of DRM and has a big spike shoot out of the top to poke their eyes out if they try to read something that's not protected. They'll certainly think twice before they do it again. And if they do, well it won't matter after they've lost both eyes will it? I bet those silly liberals with their health and safety laws would squash it though. Damn liberals.
