As long as I BUY them not rent them
As long as I can BUY them not just rent them, I'm good. A lot of this digital rights junk is playing around with rental models, and it makes me sick. I want to actually BUY my music, ebooks, etc. I don't like the idea of files being able to delete themselves, or a DRM program deleting my files, etc.

Also, tablet PCs are a good step towards real e-books. I hope tablet PCs become popular, because they show real potential.
