@Gregg Bell - you could get something like a refurbished HP Mini (because its small) with a kosher Windows 7 licence to do your DRMing etc. Here's a guide to sharing files between Linux and Windows ==>> How to Share Files Between Windows and Linux. And of course there's always the pain free sneakernet option.

Down here a refurbished HP-Mini can be had for ~AU$100, I would think a lot fewer US$'s over there. Yes, I am aware of your problems with a refurbished Sony Reader.

In essence I agree with JSWolf's sentiments in post #6.

Kovid Goyal makes some interesting observations in which you might be interested ==>> Linux definitely has more problems than any other OS...
