I know half a dozen people who've bought Kindles in the last year. They buy books from the Kindle bookstore. They read them. They've probably never heard the word "DRM" and wouldn't know what it meant if they did.
"Being burned in the future" is only an issue if you re-read books. My experience is that most people don't. They buy a book, read it, and never read it again. They aren't buying books to keep, or to collect; they're buying them as a form of ephemeral entertainment.
