But for consumers who shuttle between proprietary worlds during this War of the Roses of ePub standardization, it does matter -- hence the cleverness of toddos's idea. Techphobes shouldn't lose access to their old libraries every time they decide to buy a better book stand.
The problem is that DRM has been made to serve huge stores instead of the publishers and authors it was designed to protect. Otherwise it would be universally applied. (This, BTW, is
not an argument in favor of DRM but a criticism of the hypocritical uses to which it has been put.)
