I only agree in the sense that the price I'm willing to pay for a DRM-protected book is..

$0.

For me, a media file, be it book, music, video, has no DRM. Unless I can remove the DRM, I wouldn't buy it at all. The day Sony announced they would be switching to (DRM-removable) ePub is the day I started buying e-books (I now buy from Kobo and sometimes Sony, ePub only of course).

The only reason I'm willing to buy e-books is that I can remove the DRM myself. Certainly it would be a step in the right direction for them to remove DRM, it save me from having to do it myself, but if they used that as an excuse to jack up the price (as temporarily happened when music made the switch), I'm not interested.
