I have said in other DRM threads that my opinion is that most people do not care about DRM. Most buyers user their device of choice and go to their store of choice and buy books. They do not think about all the draw backs because most people just buy a kindle/nook and stick with it. They WILL be upset however when they learn they can not switch from the Kindle to Nook or something. But again, I do not think most ebook readers even know what DRM is. So long as you stay in the world where you buy, DRM is fairly transparent.
I think here on this forum the "hate" for DRM is much much much higher the rest of the world.
