If need by, I can remove the DRM. So far, I haven't felt the need.

If you get locked into one store, be it Amazon, Apple or any other, you'll find it painful when you have to change, and some day you WILL have to change.
And then I'll change. In the meantime Amazon have a large selection of cheap books I'm happy to read. These arguments all apply to Adept DRM books too, and I'm more comfortable being tied to Amazon than Adobe.
I'm not saying that the current situation is ideal. But neither is the sky falling in. I'm not going to get all in a tizzy about 99c eBooks.
