Sony's PlayStation is itself a form of DRM in that to sell a game for it the company must pay Sony a fee for the rights to use their interface tools and the PlayStation logo on their packaging and advertisements. In the same line of thought, Sony could authorize others to sell BBeB books that would work under the CONNECT DRM with Sony receiving a fee for each or a percentage of the sales price.

Thanks to the good people at MobileRead I knew before I bought the Sony Reader that the PDF support for letter/A4 files was a joke and I bought one anyway. The assistance of the members here have made the format conversion learning process painless. It will only get better.
