It's hard to trust a tech reporter that doesn't know what he is talking about. The Sony and Kindle are NOT limited to DRMed formats. Also, you don't HAVE to use whispernet to put your own books on the Kindle.

Then again, if that is the public perception then this is a problem that Sony and Kindle need to address. Then again, as RobertB did say, they want the back end sales. So, to tell people you don't NEED their attached book stores is probably a bad idea. But, isn't more devices sold give greater potential book sales?
