You are right, of course. But I do think this is one of the things that are wrong with DRM. Now you have to do research (about technical matters) before buying a book in order not to get burned. And, to most people this will come as a complete surprise the first time they decide to buy an ebook. An extremely "customer-unfriendly" system.
