While I do see the logic behind them selling the ebooks, I fail to see the logic behind people *buying* DRM-rd books for the PC.
I dislike DRM to begin with and try to avoid it whenever I can but with a mobile reader I at least get the benefit of being able to take plenty of reading material along without having to carry the equivalent of several bricks.
When reading exclusively at home I doubt that there are enough benefits over a paper book to convince me to buy a DRM-ed ebook. I can't read in bed or outside and I can't really do much else except sit in front of the registered machine and read it there. That's very little convenience for a relatively high price (the reduction compared to a paperback is ridiculous if one factors in the restrictions due to DRM).

Or is there something I fail to see?
