The Aluratek Libre is not able to read any DRM eBooks. It only supports the unencrypted files. "The Libre does not support DRM-restricted eBook formats like MOBI that require a PID." The CyBook can read DRM eBooks.

The Aluratek is less than half the price of a CyBook.[/QUOTE]

You were doing good till the drm support .It does support adobe drm'd Epub and ADE books, although drm'd epub books can be a crap shoot especailly from Simon and shyster. But it does support one of the major drm's schemes . But I do agree battery life is it biggest short comming 12 hours max or atleast once every 7 days the way I read. I dont regret getting its a great deal and its exactly what I was look for in a text e book reader.
