HUGE thanks to everyone who commented your answers were really helpful. I had the sudden realization that e-book drm might not be un-removeable – making the decision about which hardware platform much less “OMG I AM MARRIED TO ONE COMPANY FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE” Borders – sad to see you go – BUT knowing that you are going to completely disappear from everyplace that I might purchase a book makes my e-book purchasing decision easier.
