At least the other DRM formats have unique names so I know which ones to avoid/adapt and which ones I can just load and go onto my Cybook/BeBook.
I mostly agree. With DRM and without DRM are no problem. It's when we get ePub with a different DRM scheme that we'll have major issues. I can see people with a 505 or 700 purchasing ePub from Fictionwise to find out it doesn't work and then not being able to return it. I'm hoping Fictionwise doesn't go this route as it won't be to their benefit at all as more readers eventually use ADE and not whatever it is they come up with.
