That's beside the point. ADE restrictions become an issue when you have multiple computers/devices on the same account. I can no longer use my work computer for ADE because of a known issue (it kept on re-registering with ADE each time I started the program) and I can no longer add new computers (I tried and failed to add my daughter's new netbook). Amazingly, I was able to add my Pocketbook 360 BEFORE I had installed the experimental firmware which support DRM epub and PDF. That was an odd, but welcome and encouraging, occurrence. However, I am still dreading what will happen when I have another hard-drive failure or wish to upgrade my OS on my ASUS. It is not clear to me that ADE will recognize my computer as a re-registration of a previously recognized one. De-Registering the computer (if possible) apparently does not get your activation count lowered, like it does with Sony. Right now, with my Pocketbook 360, ADE is working. It does not work well for my Sony in regards to library books. There is no guarantee it will work well when I upgrade my computer, which may not be too far in the future. I have no such fear in regard to EReader. I hope that Pocketbook will upgrade their support of adobe DRM to include the social DRM which is being licensed from B and N. I would gladly support B and N if they make it easy for me to get reasonably priced content onto my reader, with no worries about problems caused by hardware failure.

I do concede your points in regards to the technical limitations of eReader, although I have still come across eReader books that look nice. I have my own gripe against the format: the html coding works fine on windows but often does not work well on linux because the coders got careless and referenced image file names in the wrong case (windows is not case-sensitive, linux is). As a result, I have had to manually rename the image files I get when I explode an eReader file with the python script. I don't think this is the script's fault; the names of images appear to be those given by the publisher and the html seems to be the publisher's source.
