I was an early convert to ebooks and began purchasing them in the late 90's. Before realizing what a problem DRM would cause and learning how to remove it, I lost hundreds of dollars worth of ebooks in MS LIT, Gemstar, Franklin eBookman, and a couple of other formats that are no longer supported.
When the first Kindles came out in 2007, I switched over to Kindle and have never regretted doing so but I learned my lesson about DRM.
I now use Calibre with the Apprentice Alf plug-ins and routinely remove the DRM from all my ebooks as soon as I buy them. I don't illegally share them with anyone but I refuse to be locked into anyone's proprietary DRM scheme.
