No. It is not.
It is being done today all over *without* breaking DRM.
I'm not the only one reading Kindle books on the same device as Nook epubs or as Apple iBooks for those that lean that way.
There might even be more people doing that than reading on eink devices.

If the goal is one-stop reading instead of an Anti-DRM crusade there is no need for a new law.
Now, if the goal is being able to move licensed ebook across walled gardens, and probably put the rest of Amazon's competition out of the ebook retail business...


As I said, poor choice of justification.

Any law that attacks DRM has to allow for secure loans and rentls or it won't make it out of committee.
