Personally? I'd say there is an extremely high chance that I'll be able to read a DRM'd eBook 2 (or 20) years from now. But maybe that's just me. I still have computer hardware/software from 15 years ago, and can read any format from that era. And all of my important data has been converted to newer formats along the way.

Ironically, I just randomly clicked on this yesterday. I'd never seen it before, nor did I know what it contained. If you want to get directly to the point, jump to about the 05:45 mark.
