> This weekend we want to make sure that last-minute shoppers are not 
> buying ebook readers. Help us let everyone know that DRM locks you in 
> to a single device. When your device breaks or becomes outdated, you 
> can't open your book -- you are locked out!
>
> Every few years you will have to buy a new copy of your favorite 
> books, and a new ebook reader to go along with it. Any ability to lend 
> your ebook to family or friends is severely limited at the whim of the 
> DRM owner. For the future of reading: Don't buy ebook readers that use 
> DRM technology—our books will end up locked shut.
