But maybe they can't use Mobipocket's SDK without DRM, just as they can't use Adobe's without DRM. So they would need some alternate software for either .prc or .epub (or both) without DRM. It's possible, yes, there's no otherworldy mystery in those formats, open solutions exist or can be developed... but that needs time, work, testing, etc., which it seem's they don't have.
On the other hand, I really wish they would develop their own solutions instead of relying only on Mobipocket and Adobe, I want someone to provide more features, to fix bugs and remove limitations, I don't want the same old problems and restrictions to appear in every other reader.
