I definitely "vote with my wallet" and purchase only DRM-free books. I'm glad to see some studies that are revealing how bad for business DRM can be. The music industry finally got it. I guess the movie and book industries will need to learn the lesson independently.
One of the reasons I have AVI files for DVD's and blu-rays we own. we have a very efficient media server.

Good thing is the latest trend are triple play releases where you get the blu-ray, DVD and the AVI in one package.

Back to ebooks. I have been enjoying a swath of indie SF ebooks of late and they have all been excellent reads. No bloody DRM on any of 'em!
