You think I'm going to buy DRMed books? not likely. I won't even buy DVDs with region codes because I'm afraid they're going to screw up my DVD player.
I'm not opposed to paying, ... paying just for IP would be a great deal over the thousands of dollars I've spent on pbooks... but I imagine most people will be less inclined to buy something with DRM in it,.. and some abstract guilty feeling is not going to be enough to get me to spend lots of time searching out a way to send the author money.

Why not buy Microsoft Reader (LIT) books? They can (where legal to do so) have their DRM trivially removed and be converted to other formats. Virtually all eBooks can be bought in LIT format.
Can you explain how region codes can "screw up" a DVD player? That's a concept I've not come across before.
