Doesn't DRM actually help keep book prices low?
If there were no DRM, and a book could be purchased from any vendor and read on any device, that would trigger a short term price war between book vendors. And slowly (or not) smaller book vendors would be pushed out of business by the largest vendor (most likely Amazon) who could afford to make very little to no profit at all in the short term with the purpose of being the sole provider in the long term.
What do you think will then happen to prices?
