Personally I don't care about sharing books or ebooks because hardly no one I know likes to read books in English. But that's just me.
I do care, however, about DRM limiting me to a certain format (and possibly certain reader), preventing me from format shifting or changing the font, adding a table of content or cover for those books that come without one and the like.
And on top of that I don't like the implication that I would become a thief/pirate if they wouldn't hinder me.
Also I can format shift my vinyl records, cassettes and CD to MP3 if I want to. It's not the same as not being able to use programs that are ages old. And even lots of those have been format shifted, Pong for example.
