Default Re: Must Enter a Credit Card!?

Personally I think palmreader/ereader's DRM scheme is one of the best out there. It is obvious that a sort of DRM is needed for e-book distribution but its clever for the original developers of eReader (PeanutPress) not to tie down its users to devices (like MSReader).

The reason why eReader still needs to DRM'ed those 'free' e-books are so it is tied to the user who 'bought' it. They do not want people to illegally distribute it. It is free only for that day and for the people who have accounts.
