Ari Armstrong reviews e-book readers, and then argues against exclusive digital rights management. He also reviews ebooks.com and gripes about non-transferrability. I have many disagreements with Ari; I’m pretty sympathetic to Kendall’s various comments on those posts. Yet I also share many of his frustrations. (How’s that for vague!)

I’m desperately hoping for Apple to blow away all the competition with some new device, perhaps using an iPhone-like OS, all nicely managed on your PC/Mac through iTunes.
