I've got a Kindle and use it exclusively for public domain, but I think the general public is just not very well-educated about DRM. I want to think Amazon's ebook business (not the same as ebooks in general of course; I <3 feedbooks) is doomed, I think it's wishful thinking.

Yeah, I agree. I got an amazon gift card for christmas and probably will buy a couple of books with it. Probably Neal Stephenson ones that are huge and will take me a long time to go through, so they're less effective as library checkouts. The DRM thing is certainly distasteful to me, but the convenience I think will win out, unfortunately. Which is lame, I know, but also pragmatic...
