I freely admit I don't have any numbers in DRM vs lost sales, particularly in the world of "best sellers". Neither do you.

That's the point of course. You are asking authors and publishers to take a leap of faith based on NO CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE. If you are asking authors and publishers to take such a leap, you don't need a pretty theory-you need CLEAR AND CONVINCING EVIDENCE .To urge such a step is immoral really,because you are toying with the livelihoods of authors and publishers based on what-theory? Based on the fact that it's inconvenient to a minority of users ?
Well, I am not convinced.
Going back to the OP, I would say that he should not be concerned with DRM, simply because in most cases, DRM would not affect him at all . He should simply focus on buying good books , enjoying his Kindle , and following my suggestions to work around whatever limitations the Kindle might place on casual sharing. That's my final answer. Have a good night.
