Ebook checklist from EFF

I like this: Ebook checklist from EFF Boing Boing.  One of my big worries about ebooks is that we’ll wind up with a a pile of intrusive, controlling crap instead of books.  Why is plaintext so difficult to supply?  It seems to me that most of the book publishers are hellbent on repeating or worsening the mistakes of the music and movie industry.
