If they didn't expect you to *buy* commercial ebooks they wouldn't be paying the Adobe Tax to provide ADEPT DRM ebook compatibility. Instead, they would ship products like the (otherwise interesting) Jetbook mini that *require* you learn about DRM-stripping and Calibre to get commercial ebooks from Amazon, B&N, or the ADEPT shops onto the reader.

Realistically, you need to actually buy at least *some* drm'ed ebooks from time to time to get full value from a PB reader. Unless all you read is 19th century-or-older copywrite-free ebooks, or pirate everything in sight, in which case there are other, cheaper readers more attuned to your approach.
