We've just seen the B&N debacle in the UK, which is just the latest in a series. As I write this, Paul has a thread where he has been trying for many months in vain to get Amazon to state its policy on access to content after an account is closed. And of course there was the whole 1984 debacle. Amazon is a great company with great customer service but it is not perfect. And the others don't even come close. This alone is a good reason to think twice about buying ebooks if DRM cannot be removed. I should add that I have no objection to so-called 'Social DRM", which I personally don't classify as DRM at all.
