Yes, dad!

And let me say that I have no issues with DRM as it is currently implemented by, for example, Sony. So I see no reason why I should give support to an alternative system. I have dozens of ebook titles that will become "stranded" if and when Sony walks away from the format, for example. And I hope to be able to buy many, many more. If that keeps publishers content so that they publish the books and so that authors can be properly paid when people read their works, then I'm more than happy.

The if and when is the problem here, I guess. Sony has already changed its DRM system once. Amazon has also done so as a music vendor. So where is my guarantee? Or are books an essentially volatile product right now? Sorry, but I DO reread my books from time to time.
