RE: A bit funny to me
Palm Reader was originally developed by Peanut Press, and it was called Peanut Reader. Palm purchased Peanut Press sometime back, renaming it "Palm Digital Media." So Palm Reader is NOT a creation of Palm, but a property of Palm.
Still, kudos to Palm for having the smarts to buy Peanut and to keep a great product going.
RE: A bit funny to me
It is still pretty cool to see most things that originated on the Palm-Plattform outperform original PPC-Products e.g. PIMs work better on Palm, Docs-to-Go and QuickOffice offer a better Office-integration than the actual PPC-Microsoft products. And Palm Reader beats Microsoft Reader.
RE: A bit funny to me
I remember reading at one time that PPC developers were working on a PalmOS emulator "so PPC users can also use PalmOS and have the best of both worlds."
Personally, I can't wait. One day, then, they'll give an award for the best overall program for the PPC, and the winner will be...PalmOS.

I personally, believe that if we must have DRM for e-books then PalmReader's approach is the best balance I have seen between protecting copyright and preserving a positive user experience.

RE: Hopefully . . .
For those of you haven't purchased an ebook from ebooks.palm.com, your credit card number is the key for unlocking the book on your device. You can certainly share your ebook with family or friends if you wanted to, but they would have to be close enough that you would trust them with you credit card number. If you purchased a print book or packaged music CD, you would probably only loan it to others in your household or very close friends. Palm's DRM bings this to electronic media.
RE: Hopefully . . .
Just because the book is digital doesn't mean that I shouldn't be able to sell it second hand.
That's why my e-book purchases have only been reference books that I anticipate using on an ongoing basis.
