Hi all,

I have a rather generic question regarding security on the ebook readers. Are there any devices that offer password protection / content encryption. That is, the device asks for a password before booting and the file system (both fixed media and movable) is encrypted. The reason for asking this is the following: I am guessing that the ebook devices would get a huge boost in market share/acceptance once they are adopted by corporations as an alternative to dead-tree print outs (devices that come close to an A4 sheet). But no corporation, at least the self-respecting ones, would ever let its employees use such devices unless the corporate documents are safe through encryption. This is similar to full disk hd encryption for corporate laptops.

Encryption would cost something extra in processing power and battery life span I dont expect it to be that severe.

Any thoughts or comments?
