if I sell ebook readers then pirated ebook copies that people can download for "free" are good for me.
(just like all the mp3s out there were boosting iPod sales)
So I'm not so interested in all the DRM, copyright protection etc.
If I sell ebooks then I want to sell on every device, not just one. If people want to read it on a 2 line cellphone screen... I don't care as long as they are buying my content.
I want DRM because I'll lose sales if people can just freely copy my stuff (actually... this is proven to be false... but that's a different story)
so what does SONY want?
are they publisher or just middle-man?
and... noone really answered the original question
