Thinking about it further it really is a false conflict. There is no reason why ebooks sold to the public could be without any DRM while the same ebooks sold to a library system (say Overdrive) for lending to the public could incorporate DRM. Unless the objection is to the whole idea of people being able to read books for “free” from libraries. Then that has nothing to do with DRM and applies just as well to paper books.
