And in order for that to happen the industry needs to either adopt a single, common, DRM standard (Magic 8-Ball says: Don't count on it) or give up on the idea of trying to sell us malware-infected ebooks (Magic 8-Ball says: Very doubtful). The choice of container/file format is entirely irrelevant if you can't open it because your Borders & Noble reader doesn't support the Amasony DRM scheme. Pretty much every reader on the market supports multiple file formats, and converting uninfected books from one format to another is trivial.
