DRM the real problem
DRM and endless copyright are the real problem. The books at Project Gutenberg will never go out of print. They have already bee dublicated on hundreds of web sites and thousands, if not millions of devices.
Only works which are allowed to be locked in with DRM technology are in danger.
Which leads to the most important question: Can free books from Project Gutenberg or other sources be used on the Kindled? If not it's nothing but a toy and has no more chance of effecting change than any of the other "ebook" devices.
