That won't work. ADE is too ingrained. For example, because Sony is out of the Reader market, their Readers will not be updated and the versions of RMDSK used will not be changed and if some new DRM was to be used instead of Adobe's time limited DRM, a lot of people would be prevented from reading eBooks from Overdrive. So please, no new DRM. Also, we don't want a new DRM that we cannot remove. Getting away from Adobe's DRM means we won't be able to remove it unless someone figures it out and until then we'd be screwed. Better to stick with what works to be removed then something we cannot removed. You don't have to like Adobe. But you do have to let the DRM be so we can remove the DRM.
