The funny thing about the whole DRM argument is how easily DRM can be circumvented by even the most un-nerdy noob:

Use a camera.

Display each page of your ebook, take a picture of each page, set up your ebook as a series of JPEGs, read on any picture viewer.

Not elegant and a little time consuming, but certainly usable.

(I hope posting this "secret" doesn't run afoul of Mobile Read's TOS since it technically is a way to overcome DRM...but it is interesting to note how the thousands (millions?) of dollars spent to develop these sophisticated DRM schemes can be foiled by someone with a $20 disposable digital camera).
