The eReader DRM is non-intrusive as long as you're on a supported device. That doesn't help folks who have a large investment in eReader-format books who would like to read them on a newly-purchased Kindle, Cybook or Sony...
And I don't personally think that purchasing one's e-library again (or "throwing it away") each time they change to a non-supported device is an acceptable solution. Especially given the minimal discount to print price that most eReader books are sold at.
But a similar encryption scheme that is truly universal would be acceptable to me.
