The music industry has actually figured this out pretty well. If you're buying music, for example from iTunes or Amazon, you get a DRM-free copy (there's still the ability to get DRMed stuff, but almost nobody uses it anymore). If you're subscribing to a service that allows downloads instead of just streaming, like Xbox Music (nee Zune) or Rhapsody (is that even still around?), the downloads are DRMed because your access to them relies on your subscription status.
Purchasing books == purchasing music
Borrowing books from the library, or a hypothetical Netflix-for-books type subscription service == downloadable subscription music
