I think the concern is that YOU the purchaser, even if you GO BUY IT YOURSELF, may not be able to read the book again in five or ten years.
I have a lot of books I like so much I've read two or three times, and I want that option for any book that I "buy". But just try reading an old LRX file on a new reader... ooops, can't authorize it anymore. And the ten-year-old reader I bought it with is dead - like any piece of electronics.
The point is that you're not really buying DRM books you're just renting them. For the equivalent cost of a full price purchase of the pbook. And that's just wrong.
