That is why I believe Adobe is pushing hard to get their standard on portable devices. While ADE is on a Sony device it was Adobe themselves that added it, not Sony. I would expect further penetration in the eBook devices market by Adobe.

Overdrive, of course, already uses the Adobe DRM in their lending library software for ePUB and PDF.
