No, that's not what I'm saying at all - please don't put words into my mouth. What I said was that the problem is that the average user has never heard of DRM, and neither knows nor cares whether or not their books have it, and that they'd get annoyed if a reading device claimed to support ePub, but then discovered that it wouldn't read the books that they'd bought at Kobo (or wherever). Amazon are never going to go down that road. If you think they should, you need to be talking to Amazon, not me.
