And of course all of this concern trolling about standards is completely misplaced. B&N uses Epub, but you still can't read a nookbook on a Kobo or Sony. Apple uses Epub, but you can't read an iBook on a nook or Sony or Kobo. Some standards.

The book format is standardized, the DRM is not. Huge difference. On the lock in, most of the people who it does matter to, avoided the kindle and bought elsewhere.
