Many people have said they won't buy a DRM book. I won't buy a reader that does not allow multiple DRM's. I have the iRex DR1000 with mobipocket. They have changed to epub but I can't upgrade unless I want to lose my books. As much as I love eInk I will be buying a Windows Tablet when they come out this Fall and 1st quarter of next year. Then I know I won't have to worry about losing Mobipocket.
Having said that there is still the issue of fair use. Stores like fictionwise lose access to books which can then affect us if we want to transfer to a new reader. I accept the fact that DRM exists and we have to live with it. I am against the way companies use it because they restrict the consumer from the fair use of the material which is our right. Give us the ability for fair use and then there can be a peace treaty between the companies and consumers.
