You're kind of preaching to the choir on DRM for most of us here, I think. It's never my object to steal a book when stripping the DRM -- it's my object to use the book the way I want to use it. That's all.

As for Kobo ... I hope they get this mess straightened out at some point. I now own a Kobo Reader but also a Sony Reader. If I happen to have the Sony with me, I'd like to be able to download and read any Kobo book on it -- seeing as though I have a Kobo Market app right on my T2 now. At the very least (as I said before) they must let Sony Reader know specifically which books will (and won't) work on their devices. I don't think that's an unreasonable request.
