The problem for most people is that DRM could someday get in the way. Amazon has the Kindle now. But what if Sony and Borders was to get together with their own wifi reader and have lots of publishers on board and suddenly it becomes the hot new device everyone wants and it causes the Kindle to tank and Amazon does what it did in the past with ebooks and just dumps Kindle support. Then you have Kindle users screwed with content that is not only not available, but paid for content it gone as it sits on a server no longer serving it.
I know that is an extreme example, but it just goes to show one possible example of how things can go wrong and DRM screwing you over big time. I personally to not want to rely on my books being on some server and my being able to get it when I need/want it. I'd rather have it on my system and backed up on either another hard drive or CD/DVD.
