Great point. And honestly I seldom re-read books. Most I've bought are in boxes in closets at my parents (or have long since been donated) as I got sick of dealing with them during movies, finding room for them in apartments/condos etc.

So DRM issues really don't bother me much, anything I would want to reread I'd just by a hardcover rather than ebook.

So it's looking like the Kindle's probably the way to go for me. But I'll wait till summer as maybe there will be a price drop and I'll have more money with starting a new job, getting paid moving expenses etc.
