Well, thus spake the hardware manufacturer.  He's making way more on the 
player than on the content so naturally his inclination is to throw up 
his hands and say, a pox on your DRM requirements.

It'd be great -- we'd finally get OverDrive for the Mac -- but I think 
the Content Owners would prefer bankruptcy to DRM-free content.
