Imagine if you could only access webmail from 6 computers, ever.
It is, after all, ME that buys the books.

Doesn't this presuppose that Adobe is a logical or user-friendly company?
And don't forget,
you are not Adobe's customer! The ebookstores are.
Adobe can do whatever they want, as long as they can retain the ebookstores as clients. Bad User Experience means people less happy with ebookstores equals fewer sales... but that affects the ebookstores. Adobe meanwhile is guaranteed that the ebookstores will continue paying for ADEPT DRM, because the bottom line is that ebookstores must use DRM of some sort or lose the big publishers. And ADEPT is the only option other than Amazon's in-house DRM. Now,
Amazon has an incentive to make sure the DRM doesn't break User Experience.
Adobe has no incentive to care about User Experience.
