I do re-read books, as I buy principally management books to support the work I do as a facilitator & trainer. Whilst on the same account my family members buy fiction but not sci fi.

I guess eventually LRX books will be able to be stripped of their DRM (and I know this is potentially / probably illegal) but what I want to be able to do is to have books that I know I can read on a device and on my pc / mac in say 20 years time.

Decisions, decisions :-)
There is no way to predict what will be available 20 years from now However with the recent news of sony developing a wireless capable PRS-ish Device leads me to believe that Sony is commited to the long haul.
