Thank you so much for the feedback zerospinboson! I see what you're getting at, the article is both a news story and an opinionated digression summing up the history and points against DRM, so it's a bit all-around-the-block. Also, the tone has been deliberately dumbed down to the man in the street, especially since in Brazil people are mostly ignorant of what ebooks really mean and understand an ebook as a book scanned into a PDF (often ilegally). Apparently that didn't work out so well - hence your feedback is really appreciated. Since there ain't yet a well-informed brazilian ebook community as Mobileread, it's great to have this article here up for criticism and opinion.
Oh, and I'd love if you'd elaborate on what exactly feels non-sequitur to you. I have read it multiple times but can only reckon that the umbrella covering sometimes gets in the way of objectiveness.
My best,
Bernie
