You are aware the the potential problems with DRM, but you are not worried about them because you have no significant investment in DRMed ebooks.
I am not personally worried about DRM problems because I don't buy DRMed ebooks if I can't strip the DRM, and I do that as soon as I've bought them.
(I do have personal experience of DRM problems. Without DRM stripping, I would have lost access to a few tens of ebooks. Most in the Overdrive withdrawal from Fictionwise, some from the HarperCollins and CyberRead shutdowns.)
I am worried about DRM for naïve customers, and even for the publishers and retailers. It's an accident just waiting to happen.
