I think another example of lack of fair and full disclosure is the Kindle books. I see nowhere on an individual book's page that it can only be read on a Kindle. And yeeees, I'm well aware one must own a Kindle or have access to a Kindle owner's account to buy Kindle books.
I tried reading a few title listings just now over on Amazon and did not see anywhere on the book's page that explains the title in Kindle edition can only be read on a Kindle and not other devices other than the iphone/touch.
I agree that Ectaco needs to be up front on the DRM thing, but so does every other site out there which sells readers and/or ebooks. As many have complained about the Jetbook page, Joe Q. Public is not going to be up to speed on the whole format and format+drm fiasco. But the problem is industry wide. I sense it's the real monkey wrench in reader sales or demand for reading devices.
