Yes - I agree - it's an excellent solution. It will allow me to make personal 'fair use' of my purchase - I'd use my Reader when at home, but will be able to pop a current book on my iPod touch to take with me, instead of having to buy 2 copies, which I have done on occasion.
However, it also places important and necessary restrictions on piracy and theft. I see DRM as a practical and moral necessity, and have no problem with it what-so-ever, when it is fairly employed.
