I'm all for DRM free... but I doubt we will see that with ebook purchases for several years. (Yes, we have had this discussion ad nauseum.)

The DRM I am not overly concerned with, it's the actual caching and having it as a web only service. Most eink devices are sold as such, instead of being loss leaders like game consoles for accessories, licensing, and actual media sold. They are trying to push these devices and services without it being actually feasible or enticing from the consumer end. As it stands without the device support and being tied to an internet connected pc or smartphone, this isn't going to be the catalyst to drive the ebook market.
