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.
So you're saying that because a company that once made ereaders stops making them, that there can be no further advances to ebook technology? For how long? 5 years? 10? 20?
