I think I'll be buying quite a few of these!
I'll not be buying anything from the iBook Store except drm-free titles, or until the DRM is removable.

Of course, to be able to buy any at all, I'll have to wait until the iBook Store is available on something other than an iPad.

I've found that even Penguin versions of classic books can contain occasional typos and OCR errors in the ebook versions. e.g. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B002RI9KQ8/ has several, especially in the second half of the book.
