I read an article a week or so ago that the EU has been considering legislation to require that ebook formats and DRM work on all reading devices. I'm not sure how they could make that work but that's what the article said.
Anyway it said that the bill hadn't been taken seriously until B&N shut down in the UK and that significantly increased it's chances of passing.
Again, I'm not sure how they could make that happen or if they could, law or not, but it sure would be a desirable outcome.
