You can register 4 devices with mobibooks. Ok it's a hassle if you then change one but it's not a big deal.
I agree that DRM is a hassle, and I'd rather have 'social DRM' but I'm afraid if you want to read contemporary fiction then you are going to have to deal with DRM in some form or another. And given that, I'd choose software-specific DRM over hardware-specific DRM any day of the week. I can get a device that will read Mobipocket files from any number of firms. If i want to read BBeb files I'm tied to Sony. I know which alternative I prefer.
