10:10 PM EST 		Yes I recently purchased an ebook for $70. I could not believe the cr@ppy DRM installed which made it next to impossible to read on linux and on a mac restricted me to printing only 10 pages (out of 600 roughly). Needless to say the anger motivated me and now I can read it as a regular pdf on Linux. DRM is a dead duck.
