So buy an iPad .

OK, just joking, but that's one of the reasons I did that. I've got Kindle, Kobo, B&N, and iBooks, and that's not even all the ebook reader apps I have.

If you have a general purpose tablet or smartphone, you don't really have a DRM problem-there are apps for that. Final point: as the price of reader devices go down and as smartphones becomeubiquitous, DRM isues will go away. The final nail in the coffin will be the ubiquity of cloud computing in the 5-10 year time frame. OK, back to unpacking. Have fun.
