Agree with you there, not on the DRM-part, but on the "do one thing good, instead of many half-assed" part.

Granted, BeBook is trying to rectify the worst parts of their format support by releasing new firmware on a regular basis, but they still have a LONG way to go before their mobisupport is as good as the Cybooks. And at the moment, the best format for me on the BeBook is either fb or rtf actually. Those 2 works just fine, mobi and lit which i would have pprefered are more or less useless in the current implementation, and since they use the Java version of Mobireader (as I understand it) it will most likely never support the things I want it too support. It's even gotten to the part where I'm contemplating getting a Cybook as well. Just for it's mobi-support
