Silly? Seemed to work out pretty good for Amazon/Kindle

Kindle books you can strip DRM, convert to any format you like and put them on any device.
If these type of books are tied to an iPhone app, you probably couldn't move them somewhere else. Plain books in the iBook store should be fine, as you should be able to strip DRM and convert just like any of the other DRM e-books out there.
But enhanced books like these penguin ones will likely be limited to only the iPad. It wouldn't keep me from buying--especially for newspapers and magazines which get read and deleted anyway. But it's an issue for others who want to ensure they have permanent access to books they buy if they switch devices etc.
