Yes, DRM is wonderful if you are an author, a librarian and an editor. I mean, if you want to protect your work, you have to use DRM for it.
But DRM is not so wonderful in this kind of cases. I understand that you are very disapponted and me too I would feel this way if (crossing my fingers) in the future Kobo or Amazon would stop their digital bookstores: which future my ebooks would have ?
Kobo's mission is selling ereaders (and so ebooks), but beeing now part of Rakuten, if Rakuten decides to "kiil" Kobo what will be happening ?
Amazon's mission is ecommercing anything, today also ebooks, and tomorrow ?
Would DRM have to be unlocked in the future from where we bought our ebooks ?
