Personally, I dislike DRM intensely. But I also have zero qualms about removing it, and do so on every single book I buy. The day someone creates a DRM plan for Amazon that I can't remove, is the day I stop buying books from them.
I also think the OP misses the very real marketplace of DRM-Free books out there. Currently, well over half of the books in my Calibre library started out as DRM-Free. And that percentage holds true for those marked "ToBeRead".
I think refusing to buy a reader because of DRM is frankly "cutting off your nose to spite your face".
