The situation is similar to digital music distribution. Many owners of DRM enabled music found that their new devices/toys won’t play said music and next they started issuing complaints to shops. Therefore, thanks to cell phones and all the gadgets and maybe to piracy the distributors of digital music had no other options but offer DRM-free music (Amazon advertises that major). Eventually, the same will occur with e-books too, EXCEPT if a device/company owns 90% or more of the market and that won’t happen (already mobile phones and PDAs are good enough e-book readers).
Because regardless the signed contracts or the small letters, I find it creepy not able to use something I bought 5 years ago.
