I haven't seen any such data, but I'm open to its existence. The only accounts of DRM hindrance I've heard come from people who own multiple ereader platforms, a minority of enthusiasts I've only witnessed on these forums, many of whom generally strip DRM anyway. Hindrance for them: zero, aside from the seconds involved in DRM removal. For every ereader consumer I know personally, their behavior involves a single device used to read a book and be done with it. Hindrance for them: nil.
I asked my mother if she felt limited by DRM restrictions on her ebooks. Her response: "The what?"
