That's the purpose of epub and ADE. You have a generic format and encryption method that any reader could adopt. Much like the Sony Reader, so yes it does have DRM, but you are not locked into just purchasing books from the Sony Store. And if B&N had any sense, they would try to make their books compatible with as many ereaders as possible. That is what really is hurting the ebook market. Zune has its own DRM and iPod has it's own, but heres the thing, DRM free stuff is an open standard (well not open but universal) of .mp3 or .m4a usable on damn near player. I forget the widespread DRM that various manufacturers implemented (San Disks, Irivers, and Samsungs all used it) but that is really what we need and what Adobe made.
