That seems to me to be a perfectly legitimate use of DRM technology.
I had not tought of this, but as it is only temporary (ie, you won't have the problem of a change of devices and the potentiel loss of paid ebooks), it seems a great use of DRM.
It's the first time I would agree that DRM could be (in this specific case) useful. Houah, I never imagined I would write DRM and useful in the same sentence !
