Unfortunately I agree with most of what the article says. Ereaders are too expensive and you get more for your money buying an netbook. Also we are in a format war and today's purchase might not work with tomorrows technology. While many on this board are tech savvy enough to strip DRM and convert, more folks do not.
Is there any ounce of regret, me buying an ereader, none whatsoever

But Ms. Broughton says she can't recommend the Kindle to people who aren't technically savvy and might want to purchase their books anywhere other than the Amazon store. That's because the Kindle doesn't read copyright protected files from other bookstores or libraries

Which is a subtle statement that implies the stripping of DRM.
