You know, since somebody else mentioned it, I think it would be a good idea of B&N just adopted generic adobe DRM. I don't know what the charge would be per book or how it works. But it would make customers more willing to spend their $$$ there.

How many times have you seen the message 'I stopped buying from them when it became increasingly difficult to back my books up' or something similar.
