I'd probably buy a few ebooks (if not already in the local library) if they were DRM free, there is no way I'd get DRM anything.
Our library started offering ebooks that are checked out over the internet but they contain an auto expiring DRM.
Just after I checked out a couple of books my PC came down with a bad case of trojan so I had to rebuild.
The ebooks from backup were obviously unreadable because of missing licences. Now I could have contacted the library and asked them to reset the books so I could re-download but I didn't bother. You may not always have that option anyway depending how you obtained them and how long ago. The current company may honour its purchase but what if it disappears.
It would be a great day if I could just find and purchase an unencumbered ebook, until then I won't be buying any.
