To tell me I can read a book on one ereader but not another is like saying, "We'll sell you this book, but you can only read it in the house in which you're currently living. If you wish to read it anywhere else, you'll need to buy another copy from another vendor." DRM has only one justification for existence: to prevent piracy (which it doesn't do very well). If I remove the DRM but don't pirate the book, no one is harmed. Conversely, if one day the DRM encoding ensures I can't access something I purchased legally, someone has been harmed—me! Companies have no right to tell me I can't protect my investment.
