It's occurred to me that Adobe has gone about this in entirely the wrong way. The linking of CS5 with RMSDK10 is ridiculous and unnecessary.
If they wanted to do this damn fool thing (new DRM system), they shouldn't have done it in this damn fool way.
What they should have done was roll out RMSDK10 first. It's a nice update - new features, including better ePub support. They should then have encouraged manufacturers to produce updates to the firmware of existing devices, and required it for approval for new devices. And then, next year sometime, rolled out CS5 and enforced the new DRM. Most users would have already updated, with only a small minority left with orphaned devices still using RMSDK9.
In fact, I can't really see why they didn't do it this way.
