But hey! At least with Amazon it's super easy to strip DRM then make your own conscious decisions about what you do with copying. On BN.com you can easily strip the eReader DRM but whatever happens with their ePub offering remains to be seen...
I didn't know that eReader DRM had been cracked. I thought you had to unlock it using you credit card number on each individual device. I'm pretty ignorant about eReader, though. I've never used it.

As for stripping DRM, I agree. My dad is currently using my original Kindle and is reading all the ebooks that I've "freed." The B&N lending feature would be useless to me and probably useless to anyone I lent a long book to.
