Most of the books I buy are DRMed. It doesn't bother me much as I strip it away. I don't like the idea of DRMing books, but I understand the reason publishers are using it. They don't want a repeat of the Napster incident. I wouldn't even mind DRM at all if all readers could read any eBook. The only reason I strip DRM is so that I can put the book on various readers which are all mine. I never give or loan ebooks to anyone else. If they could come up with a DRM wherein when you finished reading the book you could pass it to someone else by giving up all your rights to it, that would be okay. Afterall, that is what we have done for centuries with printed books.
