That sums up my feeling exactly, PMFoo. I've used it since the old Peanut Press/Peanut Reader days back on whatever device that was at the time (Palm Vx I suppose). I never cared for the CC "unlock" method either and always thought of it as a little questionable. Still, I'd just like to see them roll the regular E-Reader and the Pro version into a single unified, updated product. Maybe really beef up the connectivity features and make it a poor man's Kindle where you can browse, purchase, and download e-books right to your Treo etc?
RE: So what does this mean?
To my mind, this method of DRM is the least intrusive I have come across. Keep in mind that the CC number is not actually stored by the eReader software. If I am remembering correctly, the number creates a "hash" key which is stored on the device to unlock the books and there is no way to determine the CC from this key.

 Free eReader
It is a part of the solution, which comes first the chicken or the egg? The Chicken in this case is the eReader which used to come in a demo. Supposedly the reader would be hooked and purchased both the eReader and purchase an ebook using the eReader. Mobipocket has been giving their ebook reader for free and has a desktop that goes to their various ebook suppliers. The ease in signing up and buying ebooks may be crucial in winning more readers to a particular format. Thus mobipocket steals readers away from eReader because eReader books transfers over to mobipocket. Giving away eReader may be too late for me, once I got accustomed to mobipocket I figure why change? RE: Free eReader
I used to use PeautReader, then palmreader. Now I use mobipocket. Mobipocket's better, and I use the desktop app to load RSS feeds onto my palm. So I'm not even going to try eReader. :-) RE: Free eReader
I always thought that the interface of eReader was more user friendly. However, though its been years now, I recall what got me to choose eReader over MobiPocket was that the books were cheaper and, at the time, the selection was better. In the Spirit of Umoja, Ronin RE: Free eReader
Also, I seem to recall that MobiPocket had a gigantic footprint. In the Spirit of Umoja, Ronin RE: Free eReader
