well, i hope you are wrong, and the fact that more and more publishers (O'Reilly, Pan MacMillan...) are making drm-free epub available makes me think that it's not unreasonable to hope. the music industry started with drm-ed mp3s but they've abandoned that now, and i believe the publishing industry will follow suit, hopefully sooner than the music industry did. Pan MacMillan et al seem to be good signs.
