murraypaul, you said it far more succinctly than I did.

I actually have bought paper books which are still entirely legal for me to borrow as many times as I wish in e-book format. Like I said in another thread, I borrowed a copy of "The Robber Bride" from the library multiple times over a ten year period, but still ended up buying it last year, brand new.

The experience of DRM books to me is that they are a loaner. So if it's going to be a loaner, then the logical place to borrow is from the library and the logical price to pay is "free". That way, if my T1 gets lost, I don't give a hoot, because I can still read somewhere else.
