The average person won't know about breaking DRM. They'll just know that their previously purchased content no longer works. That is a major strike against eBooks for sure.

Yes - I know - that's my only worry with e-reading on the Cybook .
When my current reader goes west in 10 years time ( ! ) I'll have a library that I can't access ' cause I doubt Fictionwise etc will keep my downloads for that length of time in case I need to re-adjust for a change of PID .
