Rumour has it that BeBook will soon support DRM ePub in one of their firmware updates. I'll believe it when I see it, but if it should happen I believe it (or them, meaning Hanlin V3 clones) will be the first eReader to support multiple DRM formats.
Which seems to go against the restrictive practices currently imposed, such as the exclusivity agreement Mobipocket requires before allowing DRM Mobi support on a reader - but that's a good (great!) thing.
Could be the first step towards having readers supporting multiple secure formats, meaning consumers can actually have some freedom of choice when these scumbag publishers do their back-deals and agree to only release eBook in a specific format.
Also, if BeBook / Hanlin / Jinke / lBook are doing this, then surely CyBook coulod also support both Mobi and ePub, rather than the either/or situation this thread fears. Granted, the spec page seems to have dropped Mobi and included ePub, but here's hoping they aren't actually the bastards we assume they are.
I guess it's "Hope for the best, prepare for the worst."
