I still buy books with DRM, but I take it into account when deciding what price I will pay: I'm willing to pay a higher price for DRM-free books to support those publishers who don't use it.
And for the books I buy most there is often a choice between buying the US or UK edition from different publishers. Generally I prefer the UK edition, but if the US edition is DRM-free then I will buy it instead.
For the big publishers is is not much of a problem, for the sort of books I usually buy I know that Macmillian will be DRM-free and the others not. But for smaller publishers I either don't know or can't always remember which are DRM-free. I rely on the retailer to tell me.
I would also be a bit pissed off if I bought a book that turned out to be PDF. I never want to buy anything in PDF format, but with the new shop how would I know?
