Any more Brit/Oz anecdotal evidence anyone?

Could be everyone I know is a bit weird.
Could be the non-techies I know are a bit more techie than the non-techies you know? Ebooks are words with a bit of formatting, they know that much, and words-with-a-bit-of-formatting should be relatively easy to transfer from one platform to another. DRM has been deliberately layered on top to make them non-interoperable. Apps and games, on the other hand, obviously won't 'naturally' be able to be run on a variety of platforms unless a lot of effort has been put in to port them.
