And on that note, if the DRM on my books prevents me from moving them from my broken 950 to my replacement before sending the broken one back to Sony, I'm going to be pissed.
Scaly,
when they sold paper books you would get 1 copy and unless you had a typewriter and a lot of paper to duplicate them they had control. Even with a copy machine, they still had pretty good control. -That was a lot of paper.

About your Sony. Are you saying that Sony doesn't keep all your books in a cloud somewhere so it can shoot them over to you if you need them?

I wouldn't use Sony, if that was the case.
