DRM'd Books vs non DRM

I bought "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo" from the kobo bookstore for a very reasonable price. I downloaded to my reader via ADE and noticed that when I brought it in to ADE it came with a generic "Penguin Canada" cover and NOT the cover shown on the website. I also noticed that opening the book and changing the font size takes a very long time. At least 5-10 seconds just to change the font size. The book also has very poor margins that don't utilise the kobo's screen very well. Overall I'd say pretty bad formatting. I tried to add my own cover using Calibre but because of the DRM it wouldn't let me. I have not downloaded the new kobo update (and have no plans to) so I really wanted a cover.
It took me about 3 minutes to download a non DRM'd copy of the book from the internet (I don't feel bad about this as I've already paid for the DRM'd version). 5 minutes later I had loaded it on my kobo with a nice cover and much much better margin sizes. The book loads fast and the font size is perfect.
