I remove DRM for device independence. I remove it as soon as I buy it and store it in calibre. I buy a lot of books for my kids and I don't want to commit them to a specific device that may or not be available in the future. If I control the books, I can put it on any device they end up owning.

For example, right now my eldest owns a used Nook ST with glowlight but as of last week he owned a 2nd gen Kindle that committed suicide down the stairs of our resort. If I hadn't removed the DRM I would have been forced to buy him another device instead of just letting him use our old NST.
