@Barty. Your view is bleak but possible. Personally I more subscribe to the pendulum theory. There may be a hiatus for quite a while. But usually the pendulum will swing back and suddenly we have a renaissance. Putting things in perspective things have been so good for such a long time there have been few challenges for hackers so far as ebooks are concerned. Now we have kfx and the new Adobe drm but many of the hackers interested in the area are engaged in other projects, and, like those readers who care, are currently not seriously affected. What I expect to see is more interest develop as the screws are tightened.
