When I bought an mp3 a few years ago, I was surprised about how many different places were offering them for sale. I got it from Tesco, without DRM, I believe.

Regarding reading - Apple's view of a future where you can only read something on their platform and hardware is not one I like. "Get the website app for your IPad/IPhone" is the new "Best Viewed In Internet Explorer" - except worse, as at least sites usually worked somewhat on other browsers.
