Ron, do you have any investment bank friends? Maybe you can arrange for secret buyouts of all the large publishers, and then use your agents to enforce your anti-DRM policy. Look, this is my my dream, too. But it ain't gonna happen. Moreover, don't look for a major consumer-friendly change in the copyright laws for that. Washington, alas, is too Hollywoodized. The real fantasy isn't OpenReader but the thought that modern classics will be legally available in the near future without DRM. Finally--yet another reminder: DRM will be an OPTION for publishers using OpenReader. As for OpenReader's other features, I'd remind you that interbook deep linking and shared annotations aren't exactly commonplace among today's e-book-oriented formats. Thanks! David
