Actually, it is very realistic. You can always buy it in p-book form. If not in print or you do not wish to pay full price, you can usually find it in the used market. It is so very rarely one cannot find a legal alternative to buying a DRM free book, cannot see it being that big of a sacrifice.
I do not buy books with DRM. Period. If I can't get the e-book DRM free, I buy the paper version, chop off the spine, and scan it. Reading the resulting image only PDF may involve some compromises, but nothing I haven't found to be as unacceptable as buying DRM restricted books.
