This. I totally agree with every word you wrote but especially this. Encryption based DRM takes what should be a *book*, and reduces it to a mere "service". Yes, I know about the "tools". But when I purchase stuff, I should not need external tools to make it useful my way.

I don't mind paying for my books, because I actually have the final say in how long I own them. I still have books that I bought 30 years ago.
