Granted, MR is not a representative sample. However, there *is* evidence that non-DRM'd books sell to people who won't buy DRM; there is no evidence for the reverse.

The vast majority of people reading ebooks are new to it. Which means they haven't run into problems with DRM yet, so they don't care or don't even know DRM exists. But I predict that many of them will have some issues with it sooner or later -- and then they will be very unhappy with the system.
