Actually, Dale, I objected to Adobe's DRM. I prefer eReader's DRM scheme, if I must have DRM. As long as I remember my own name and credit card number, I can read the book on any computer or device with eReader installed.

I don't like a DRM scheme that involves any company's ability to track my actions while online or take the information I fill in as a "profile" account and flesh it out from 3rd-party databases (I'm taking that directly from their Privacy statement, by the way).

Ah, I misunderstood. I prefer eReader DRM myself. It is the most reasonable I have found. Adobe's new DRM system is much improved over their old one but still more restrictive that eReader.
