However, both Foxit and Astak in the US have announced the intention to implement eReader on their EInk devices. The interesting thing about the Astak EZ Reader is that it is a Hanlin V3 that (like all V3s) currently comes with MOBI DRM support but which will be ditching this for eReader DRM support "soon". I doubt that buying from the US makes sense for you, but if you get a BeBook (or any Hanlin V3) the odds are very good that you will be able to download and use the EZ Reader firmware on the device. So you will have the option of either MOBI or eReader DRM (but not both).
I don't really know the legal situation myself on stripping DRM, but I'll check it out. I haven't thought about it. I just do it if I need to I didn't think about the ereader files being DRM, completly forgot about them being keyed to my creditcard.

Me buying from the US depends on the exchange rate. Sometimes it's cheaper even including the shipping costs.
