We ALL hate DRM. It is a royal pain in the rear!! It is confusing, messy, and a horror for end users and for Astak. BUT... the device is not the problem here.

Never said it was.

Is all of this confusing for newbie users? Hell yes!! That is WHY we have this forum... in hopes of explaining it. That is also WHY we established at great expense our own eBook Store... to try to make things simple by ONLY having PDF and EPUB!! Then the stupid Agency Model by five publishers comes out and makes (overnight) books we had not download anymore. It IS lunacy what is going on. But Astak is the only one trying to make it at least easier!

I was talking about the eBook industry in general. I was not taking a potshot at AStak at all. Yes, having your own bookstore and the forum helps. I imagine many new users don't flock to forums to find out about things.
Try to take a step back and see it the way a newbie would. They are used to wandering into any REAL bookstore on the street, and choosing a book to read. No need to buy from any particular store, or chain of stores. No need to worry about the brand of book they buy.
