I agree and disagree! I don't think that DRM itself is a scam, but when it is used to 'bind you to specific platforms' it most certainly is.
And it always is. You can only read Mobi, eReader and MS Reader books on the platforms that they support. In the world of music: which PDAs can you play iTunes music on? That's right: none. etc. etc.

Do you think Palm would be allowed to read MS Reader files if they asked? Or the new Sony reader?
