Right, but even if I don't hack it, I can MAKE my own e-reader. I can find plenty of authors who do NOT do DRM. I can implement Android on the E-reader, or I can put my own embedded linux stuff on there, or I could even code my own micros. I can make it read EPUB, HTML, TXT, RTF, ODF.. all open protocols, all that can be done sans DRM. I can link it to the thousands of fiction websites out there. All this I can do. Freely. Openly.
Sure, there will be some that take the walled garden approach. But it's already over. An idea, once in the world, will flourish without much help
