Why would you want to set your ebook so it can only be read on a specific device? Wouldn't that just upset people too?

B&N's epubs require a password to open. Apparently, many people are happy with that approach to ebook sales.

I doubt Calibre will open PDFs encrypted with Vitrium's "ProtectedPDF" software. It's what some online universities use... it not only requires a password to open, it has to check in with the server every time it's opened. Only currently-registered student IDs can read the locked PDFs.
