But, with Kobo, you do not have to have anything to do with the DRM for kepub as you can download as ePub with Adobe Adept. The user has a choice.

Think of all of those Readers that are no longer supported that use RMDSK (ADE) and will never be upgraded to handle any other form of DRM. all of those users would be screwed as this new DRM will not work with their devices.

People will be pissed if they start buying ePub that they then find out they cannot read because the eBooks are not working with whatever they currently use.

This new DRM is just another way to screw with eBooks in an effort to try to get people to dump eBooks and move back to pBooks.
