Couldn't help but notice his comments about (Stephen) Baxter. I've read exactly one of Baxter's books and have tried to read a few stories have much the same opinion.

Yes, I believed Sony had competent tech support and naive about the harmlessness of DRM.

I'd wager Nicoll has read The Reader over Your Shoulder. You don't need to read it to know that fact about the English language, but his wording suggests familiarity with the book's introduction.

False sense of security. In my case, I will live with DRM while I can break it and keep a clean copy. If I can't I won't buy that book neither as ebook nor paperback. If I want it, I'll try to obtain second hand or not reading at all.
