Mobileread is honestly the only place on the planet I know of that has readers who select what to read on the basis of a lack of DRM.
This is not to say that there are lots of worthwhile reads that are DRM-free.
But my decision to pay money down for novel X or Y is not driven by the format the book is in: it's whether the book appears to be worth spending my leisure time with it or not. I am not prepared to stop shopping at Amazon for my Kindle 3 or at Kobobooks for my Kobo just because there is DRM. If the authors and titles that intrigure me are for sale there, I'll plunk down my cash. DRM or not, my eReader will play the title as expected.
And, I'm not prepared to give up public library access if it means becoming a DRM-free household.
I applaud authors and publishers who supply their goods DRM and Calibre-friendly for customer conversions. But it's simply NOT part of my ebook buying decision: the content, not the format, is king.
