Well, not exactly my ADE library if you know what I mean (far too many ereaders to have to bother registering them all).

My point was though, most people only have 1 computer (or a wi-fi ereader), if waterstones go the smiths route and transfer the files to kindle I can see there being a general moan happening.

And if the publishers do go DRM free then I can't see adobe's content servers hanging around for long.
