The question is, how will the site indicate which books don't have DRM? (And secondary question, will users be able to filter searches for books w/o DRM?)

I am at a loss for why you cannot get www.EZread.com from work. That is VERY odd. Are you typing in the "www" first?

Yep. And trying to go to the same site, stored in browser memory, as I went to before. It's possible that work updated their filters and something is blocking it, but I suspect that, since the code on the site is going through changes, something at the site has changed and it triggers the "blockpage.cgi" script. (The annoying one, that doesn't even tell me why it's blocked, rather than the Websense warning that says what category the block is from.)
I'd say "shrug, doesn't matter"--except if my work is blocking it, others probably are, and you'd probably rather not accidentally trigger that.
And, sigh, can't contact my IT people and ask why it's blocked; the official answer is always "whatever it's blocking, you're not allowed to visit."
