I found the section on DRM really interesting too, the CEO seems like a genuine guy who understands that people who read love their books and want to have a choice of what they buy and where. But he's also probably got a legal team just behind the camera screaming at him to watch what he says, and as he himself said they have to please their publishers who rightly don't want their IP ripped off. The fact he also intimated that he really didn't like Amazon locking people into their ecosystem is another good sign, hopefully with this sort of attitude Kobo will always aim for a DRM system that isn't to draconian.
