Using Calibre will shortly be illegal in Canada. Breaking DRM is outlawed in Bill C-11.

A paperback is better than an ebook because you can give it away or sell it when you are done. That's an important reason why ebooks should be cheaper than mechanical books.

Ebooks can also be lost when the platform dies. In the timescale of books, and given how new the platforms are, that isn't an unlikely occurrence.

The only ebooks I have purchased are ones without DRM. I've purchased ebooks from O'Reilly.
