I worry that this will eventually become the only delivery mechanism allowed for most books.
I don't know how much duplication/overlap of books there is between amazon's book store and kobo's book store but my impression is that for mainstream books it's a lot. I like to remove/fix formatting that irks me so I always remove the DRM from books that I buy from amazon. If a book was only available in KFX with a drm that's unbreakable couldn't I instead buy it from kobo? I'm wondering what our options might be if and when unbreakable KFX books become the norm.
