I would buy it used in paper, chop the binding and run it through a scanner to read as image-only PDF before I'd deal with DRM.

I have done this.

If a used/destructible copy weren't available, I'd cope with finding paper & reading that. (But "chop and scan" is ahead of "read pbook" in my preferences.) There is no book I need to read so much that it's worth putting up with DRM.
