Do we have a discussion on DRM? What DRM rubbish did they install on the Librie device?

Their business model: Any e-book your purchase will be inaccessible due to DRM a couple of months (I think it was 60 days) after you purchased and downloaded it.

"reinvigorated" might apply if they were actually selling. So far I haven't seen any evidence, empirical or anecdotal, that they were selling well.
I think it makes a nice proof of concept, but hardly a successful consumer product. |

I read up a little and it seems up to 400 ebooks will get wiped out from the device after 60 days. Whatever the heck that means, it still sucks.
Is there even a workable implementation of DRM that we, the consumers, are really happy with? |

I think rmeister0 is right by saying this was more a proof of concept than a final consumer product. Let's hope that the proof did not fail by Sony's ignorance of consumer demands.
