I mostly agree with ZDNet piece, but they are a little over the top about the DRM. I wouldn't call it the world's worst DRM. I still enjoy my Kindle despite the constant issues and complaints around the place.
Also I don't think you can place the blame solely at the feet of Amazon when many of the publishers would have DRM requirment clauses in their ebook contracts with Amazon. The Kindle has to implement them somehow or the publishers simply won't sign on. Many Publishers still think like the music industry did in 2000.
