Maybe we need a non-drm version of the software, displaying ALL non-drm ebook files, and none with drm. I don't buy drm books anymore anyway. It's just the dictionary, but I now have a free one.

Does anyone think it's going to be convenient to switch back and forth between two versions of software (assuming this option ever becomes a reality)?
If they use the Adobe SDK it can be used to handle both drm-ed and non-drm-ed ePub books. In that case the restrictions placed upon the use of the SDK would prevent you to use mobi-SDK and vice versa. If you use Adobe SDK for drm-ed ePub and a *different* software for non-drm-ed that would require additional time and effort from the developers plus the non-drm-ed ePub reader software might behave differently and have different limitations/bugs than the Adobe software which would most likely confuse customers and lead to increased load on customer service (why is this ePub notworking/looking so weird while everything is fine when I use the other FW?)
