I can buy any standard DVD I want out of Best Buy in the US and it will work on my DVD player. Same with standard DVDs bought in the UK. Now, eBooks do not work the same. Too many formats and DRM just adds to the hassle. And I do find a lot of eBooks would be better with a format fix. So DRM is yet again in the way.
