DRM isn't an issue if you stay within the walled garden. It's a beautiful garden, and if you are not curious about what's outside of it, or, heaven forbid, want to venture beyond the tall walls with the spikes on top, you won't feel trapped.
DRM becomes an issue if you want actual choice or have a desire to properly own the e-books you have purchased. Because with DRM, the only way out of the garden is naked and without anything you bought while you dwelled inside it. (Unless you don't mind doing what amounts to breaking the law.)

Actually DMR is a problem if the reader breaks and the place you purchased the ebook is no longer in existence.
I was just reading a post in another forum asking for assistance because they can no longer access books they bought because they upgraded to windows 8 and the reader will not open the book (the newly installed reader does not recognize the ebook as belonging to him).
For that reason alone DMR is a pain.
