I decided to become an Apple Hater after purchasing the thing and owning it for more than a month... It does the job reasonably well, and usually it's a case of "Apple sucks hard, but everyone else sucks just a little harder." But by GOD. This pissed me off something fierce.

I didn't know that iBooks would be wrapped in DRM, I thought that ePub was by it's very nature universal, and when I heard Apple uses ePub as it's eBooks format I was all like "Oh, awesome for once!" But no... So... do you guys know of any reputable eBook stores that don't choke you with DRM? Harry mentioned the "ePub bookstore"? Do you have a link?

Edit:
Oh, and the Touch was a gift I got from my sister for free. Trust me I feel I would be much happier with some kind of Android device. If I had the money.
