In all this hullagulla about DRM, has any body actually bothered to load up some of the Google Book pdbs into Calibre and actually check if they are DRM infected? I did and, lo and behold, either Calibre can break Ereader DRM (without even entering a credit card number) or there is no DRM on these books. They convert fine into other formats (with some exceptions I need to open a ticket for). And while I greatly dislike DRM, I find EReader to be the most palatable because I can access my books even if I switch devices after the servers are shut down. Of all the current major systems it comes closest to social drm.
