How exactly without using Adobe's DRM infrastucture, would you suggest that I borrow a library book? Purchase a DRMed epub? At this point in time, there are no real alternatives. Kobo has implemented their own DRM for use with their kepub ebooks but I doubt that even in their wildest dreams would anyone at Kobo expect the mass of publishers, libraries and ebook vendors to start supporting another proprietary DRM.

As for being an inadequate product? That is your opinion to which you are entitled. Expecting the majority of Kobo owners to agree with you? My opinion is that you are not going to find that agreement.
