There is one sad consequence of DRM'ing books. Charities loose out. When I read pbooks and had finished with them I either gave them to friends or donated them to Charity Shops. I can no longer do that. Instead they rest in my book store library consuming their disk space. Would it not be an idea to enable you to donate a DRM ebooks to a registered charity, and for publishers to allow them to reset the DRM restrictions to enable the charity to resell the book cheaply to raise money for good causes.
Times change - not always for the better.
