And as for crippled DRM junk, while I am in TOTAL agreement with the anti-DRM stand, most of what I enjoy reading is only available DRM'd unless I want to keep haunting torrent forums and getting it illegally, which I'd really prefer not to do.
Most of the formats can be converted by calibre, and the conversion process is largely automatic.
