Here is the question on my mind. What type of Epub DRM will it support? Adobe Adept or some other form of DRM? As a consumer it gets so frustrating dealing not with just all the different types of formats out there but also the DRM restrictions. If it's only supported by their reader, their PC/MAC software and their own Itunes application for reading on the Itouch/Iphone, I'll still call it locked in.
Be nice to have one format and one DRM supported by multiple devices regardless of the manufacturer.
