I didn't say I expected this to happen, just that I'm afraid this might happen. Turn it around - why would you expect they wouldn't introduce a new, draconian, DRM system for e-books as they enter the market when they introduced a new, draconian DRM system for mp3s when they entered that market?

Hopefully it won't happen, but I wouldn't rule it out completely, especially since they've said they want to see e-book prices go up by 50%, and they're going to need some way of keeping Amazon's books off the iFap to pull that off.
