You missed the point of DRM. It is to keep people from putting unauthorized books on devices not authorized, or to put it another way it is to prevent people from buying their books because they are greedy and stupid and don't realize they are killing their own sales. I will accommodate them by not purchasing any DRM books that I can reasonably avoid. Amazon does not want to sell their books to anyone who is not using a Kindle or an iPhone/iTouch. Sony readers can just keep their money in their pockets, Amazon is not interested in selling to them. And while I am here, Sony is not interested in selling their readers or books to Macintosh users. If anyone objects to my observation, just realize that their actions speak louder than their words.
