There are a few books I read more than once ... but most I do not. So the reality is, the way I consume books, the entry fee is the cost of a single read ... and the privilege of storing it for the next several years, collecting electronic dust. If some of those books get caught in a DRM trap, well, it's not the end of the world for me -- because I'll never get around to re-reading them anyway.
I'm pretty much the same, so after I've read my books (DTB/ebook) I pass them on to friends/family or sell them. Being able to strip DRM is key to enabling this.
