I can see problems like this where folks will be buying these and then trying to get the latest bestseller for it and find out that while it supports Mobi, Epub & PDF it doesn't support it if the files have DRM.

Will my vast Fictionwise-purchased collection work on this or not? If not, it's an automatic no-go. I’ve got the same question as Mike G.

They usually expire after a couple of weeks. But it seems like a good thing to put aside for buying a Jetbook!
