I don't think DRM is completely evil in itself, but the current implementations are pretty horrible... with ADE being the closest to sane DRM you can get (support by multiple manufactures built in being a major plus).

That said, I try to buy my books DRM free if I can, and often pay extra for that. The less business I give to sellers and publishers pushing out DRMed copies, the faster that DRM will go away, or at least be changed to something sane and usable.
