[Lynx-lynx]

I have a Sony ereader and decided prior to purchasing any ebooks that I would not let DRM issues be a concern for me - across the major formats.

Having made that decision, and taken certain actions, I can wander freely around the web when choosing which ebooks that I want, and I only buy those books that I can download onto my hard drive.

I convert all formats into EPUB (where not already) and store all my books on Calibre, which I easily backup onto a 16GB USB stick.

So there are no problems for me.

I do hope that commonsense rules and that the publishing houses, authors and book sellers realise that DRM free is the only viable way to move forward.

NB: I only read via my Playbook now because the 7 inch screen is a perfect reading size for me.
