Just right-click and choose 'Convert selection to MP3'; obviously, if you're trying to strip out the DRM (tsk, tsk) from iTunes Store-bought audio, you have to revert to third-party apps. Allegedly.

On JSWolf's purchasing observation: I agree, it would be best to be able to simply download an e-book directly into your reader...
But can you imagine the potential number of readers each bookshop would have to support? Everything from dedicated readers (and legacy dedicated readers) to PDAs, palmtops to web tablets, smartphones etc.. etc.. Sounds like a tech-support nightmare in the making.

So yes, I think I'd agree that distribution through a physical medium may work, if only as an interim measure until standards are sorted out - so anytime this century, then..?

Best, Pete.
