AFAIK eReader DRM works with ID number of the device so what do they need my CC info??? And I'm sure, there must be a way for people with no credit card or ones that don't want to buy with credit card to buy/use eBooks?!

Anyways... The page I left had a note besides the button to press saying "if you press this button, your credit card will be charged with $ 0.01"! So what should one think about that? No mention of refund/not really charging...

eReader (Palm/Peanut Press) DRM has always used a CC number as a key. That's why some people like it, it's not tied to a device.

Then it's changed, because when I setup an account a week ago it clearly explained what would happen. I've got 27 free books in my library and there isn't a single charge on my CC.
