If I buy the book I should be able to do what I want with it. If I do something that breaks a law then punish me. But don't restrict what I can do with it or where I can read it. DRM doesn't 'allow' me to read on multiple devices, it restricts me from reading on anything I want. Imagine buying a book and being told you can only read it in the bedroom or the lounge room. No reading in the kitchen and certainly not on the bus or at a friends house! Whatever the device please agree on and use an open standard (epub or pdf at the moment (okay pdf could be more open)) and no drm. most important thing is NO DRM!
