So I plan on buying the ebooks, stripping the locks, manually removing the watermarks, cropping the whitespace out, and loading them on my ereader, which is what I do with most commercial locked PDFs. It's not that I object to the watermark; it's that it gets in the way of reading the book with the page cropped to its smallest size just around the main text.
That would depend on the size of the PDF. If it's made up for 5" or 6" screens, I'm fine with it. That's what I do with my books too...
