No, I do agree entirely with what you're saying. My point was simply that we can't expect the average consumer to be aware of what devices support what DRM systems. Is it reasonable to expect someone who buys a Kobo or a Sony to know that an eBook they buy from B&N won't work? I don't think it is. The fact that all these stores sell "ePub" books only makes the situation more complex!
