I want to comment the situation in Spain, that I think is curious. When you buy a scanner, a printer, a DVD, a CD, a hard disk or a memory stick you pay a fee for the authors because in this country you can make a private copy. So, it's OK if I scan a book I own (I have the right and I've paid a fee). The other day I knew that we have sentences at the court against DRM in music because it breaks your right to a private copy. E-books are very new in Spain and they're beginning to study the case, but I think DRM in books could be in the same situation.
An only format is not the solution, the solution is no DRM. I can choose my options, I can choose my reader and I can change it without being worried about losing my e-books. And I always break the DRM because of some problems similar to the ones I have had with ADE (I couldn't authorize my computer, because I've had some problems and I have deauthorized and authorized different times). So, the software have a problem and I have no books? Sorry, no fair.
