yes, another excellent point ; there are several books i *used* to have but don't anymore, and would like to buy again, but i can't because they are out of print and impossible to find, even used (well, i did find *one* copy of one of them available used, at the price of 40$, and the seller would not ship to europe.). what if i bought a book i wanted to keep, and drm made it inaccessible so that i could no longer read my copy OR purchase a new one because no publisher offers it ? the fact that it's "cheap" (and please remember, "cheap" like everything else is relative) doesn't excuse it being arbitrarily obsoleted.
