The DRM support on the Sony Reader was not a factor for me. The support of the other formats was a factor. `What a manufacturer may or may not do in the future is not the point. At anytime I can freeze my unit and not update the firmware. This is also true of computer operating systems. (I still have DOS running in one box here and it has not been updated in over twelve years.)
As for sending a message to the company by buying a non-DRM reader, it won't work. They would never think that way. It must be something else like the advertisements or the box color. The message will be sent if the rreader sales are good but the DRM book purchases are poor. That is a message!
