Not if Adobe's DRM scheme will be the only one available. Leaving aside the DRM-is-worthless-no-it-isn't debate, I abhor DRM that ties my books to a particular machine (like Adobe, Microsoft LIT, Sony, Amazon...)

I don't particularly care for the Mobipocket version - which is also tethered to hardware - but so far I've been able to update PIDs as I upgrade hardware, so I can live with it for the few books I want that don't seem to be available as eReader.
