And you don't have to unlock each new book. If the eReader software has already recognized one book locked with that credit-card number, it will recognize any additional books that are locked with that same credit-card number without you having to enter the number again. I add new DRM'd eReader titles to my Sony Clie TH55 and my Windows system every week, and I only once had to enter the credit-card number -- the very first time I used the software. It really is quite a painless DRM scheme.

(And the bugaboo that people always raise -- what if you change your credit-card number? -- is a nonissue. As long as you know the old number, you can always open the books, and the eReader or Fictionwise stores will happily rebrand all your books with a new credit card number if you want; either method -- using the old number, or rebranding and redownloading the book -- works fine.)
