I've been in situations recently where I had no access to WiFi or cell data. If my eBooks had to phone home, I'd not have been able to read. This is a fail of a system if that's how it's to be. My 650 cannot phone home. It has no hardware to do so. So even if Sony was to try to update the firmware for this new DRM, it would not work. Remember DivX that had to phone home? Where is it now? It's long dead and buried.
