Spoken like someone who has never been kept from reading their books on their devices due to Adobe's onerous server-based DRM. I could see how another _exclusive_ form of DRM could confuse the issue, but there is nothing to keep any individual device from being compatible with both EReader and ADEPT DRM. Given the choice between the two, any educated consumer will choose the EReader DRM (provided that this is used in conjunction with the epub format to address the issues with formating and image size you point out) because it guarantees them access to their books no matter what happens to B and N or Fictionwise or EReader.com. If ADOBE changes their system or goes belly up you could be locked from your books permanently (and, of course, this has happened before in regards to ADOBE, so they don't deserve the benefit of the doubt). If Amazon started offering EPUB books with Mobipocket or Topaz DRM, I would understand your point about confusion. But I just don't think it applies here.
