E-books are, yes, but
books in general are not. We can't go down the e-book road if it means that p-books will be predominantly replaced by e-books that are DRM-infested. Most of the literature must remain unencumbered.

No. It's better to have this current mess so that people will get so sick and tired of it that they unite to abolish DRM. The worst that could happen is that DRM would become barely tolerable for a majority of people. That would maximize the suffering caused by DRM.
