From what I understand Apple will be using their own proprietary DRM and will not support the Adobe DRM. Which means unless they support DRM free books or allow other ebook programs for the iPad, you will have to buy your ebooks from their store.

Perhaps I am wrong, but I don't think we will know for sure until people start buying the iPad. But in general I don't like Apple. Then again I don't like Microsoft either, but with my job I don't have much choice but to use their software.

Besides I like the battery life of the Notion Ink Adam much better. 16 hours of video or 160 hours of ebook reading, if I have my numbers correct.
