Its this kind of misinformation that is a constant in such debates. Whatever your feelings about DRM, at least make it clear that there are non-DRM-stripping ways of backing up and restoring your ebook collection.
Horsepucky. Please READ what I post before you tell me I'm full of it. If you feel the need to grovel to DRM, go right ahead. But don't try to pretend that a backup with DRM on is a protection against catastrophic failure. Or against the provider of the book going out of business, or just deciding to stop selling that version of DRM'd book.
