I have to say, you are so very wrong here. Sony was not the first. There was eReader, Mobipocket, PDF, MS Reader long before there was LRF. There were online stores selling these formats with DRM long before Sony. Even Amazon sold DRMed eBooks before Sony. All of this was before Sony came out with the Libre. So you don't get to blame Sony for the first bookstore with DRM.
