That works, too. The point is simply that it needs to be seamless and transparent to the user. The user simply wants the book in a format she can read on her device, and ideally should need to neither know nor care what that format is.

If I had to have DRM, I suppose the eReader method of using a credit card number could be ok, but it still relies on some software being ported forward to any system I might want to use in the future. I'd rather not have to rely on that sort of goodwill (or longevity).

Nor would I. But a CC number is simply a unique key to use in creating the passphrase to unlock the encryption. The advantage to using a CC number is that you aren't likely to give it out, and thus not likely to copy and share to book with others.
