No, I'm not justifying anything. I'm just saying that for most people it just plain doesn't MATTER. And that's the truth. We, who collect eBooks, or have multiple different readers, are not representitive of the typical user of these devices. But we know how to get around these issue, so once again, it doesn't matter.

Without DRM, most mainstream publishers wouldn't be publishing eBooks. That's a fact. It's not the bookstores who are insisting upon DRM; it's the publishers. If it's a choice between having eBooks published with DRM, and not having them published at all, give me DRM any day.
