Slightly off topic - Ebooks

That's crazy.  The publishing industry will never release electronic format
materials without enforceable piracy prevention.  The best you can possibly
hope for, at any time in the future, is a reader that's compatible with
multiple publishers' formats, or for the publishers to agree on a single
format.  But you can rest assured, it will have DRM.  Possibly a newer
version of DRM than what's currently available, but DRM nonetheless.
