Only just started thinking about getting a UK 505 but want to make sure I'll be able to read the books I intend to buy, so I have a couple of questions....

I downloaded an ebook from Apress.com (publish books for software developers etc) in PDF format and it is password protected when opening the document - does this constitute DRM? Seems a little basic if it does, but it is encrypted. Would I be able to read this on the 505?

It is important that I make sure I can read protected PDF from this publisher because the whole purpose of a 505 purchase would be to save dragging large books around on my commute.

Cheers,
Dave
