Also, it has been my experience that every Adobe DRMed ebook I have bought has been downloaded to my computer and thus locally stored, even those I bought at B&N and Sony. Although with Sony 950 I can redownload from Sony's cloud service, I can also sideload the ebook from my PC. And my wife, who uses my Sony 505, which doesn't have wireless capabilities, can access the same books I can except that I need to sideload them.
One other thing. I don't know how easy it is to remove DRM from Amazon ebooks as I have never tried, but it is very easy to make an ebook with B&N's version of Adobe DRM compatible with what my Sonys can read as well as what a Kobo device can read.
Seems to me to be a big difference, even if not a perfect world.
