Does it hurt my sales? Probably. But I'm one who prefers to stick to his ideals. If at some point I think that it'll be alright to put my books up for offer in Kindle format, then I'll do it. Until then, I'm only selling dead tree editions through Amazon.

I do think you are losing out big time. I have personally switched to the all-Kindle buffet. I am not buying books otherwise. I am sure there are lots of people like me.
BTW, DRM is an option that the publisher on Amazon (not Amazon) controls. If you don't like it, don't switch it on.
