It is just amazing to me that someone in these companies is not aware of what the music industry went through the past 10 years over this issue.....

To the first yes, absolutely true. I've spent a significant amount of time on here since Christmas trying to help people get things working and a large part of it is DRM related (the rest seem to be firewall related).
As to the second, I just can't believe they are not aware. I mean these are not idiots that run the publishing companies, I think the issue is more that they are so entrenched in the "process" that they can't turn the battleship or can't navigate the corporate waters and fight the battles that would let them handle ebooks differently than pbooks.....at least not until the entire profit chain is at risk. Currently ebooks are still only a percentage of the total take.
