Since this is my first post on MobileRead, let me introduce myself - my name is Jordan Christensen, and I am the Product Manager for Shortcovers. I've been part of the Shortcovers team since we started it within Indigo over a year ago, and I've been helping set our development roadmap.
To address the specific topic here, we definitely hear from a lot of users that they want to read their books on devices they already have, and read using the reading software they want to read with.
We currently use a custom DRM that works without our devices, but we will be releasing support for a more open reading platform in the next few weeks.
Are we going to remove DRM from our applications? We know users want DRM free reading and we are talking to publishers about opportunities to remove DRM, and all our DRM technologies are optional on a per-book basis, so as soon as publishers are comfortable delivering digital book content DRM free, we are ready to flip that switch.
