The problem, as far as I am concerned, is that a year or even 5 years means that ultimately, you are unable to read books you have legally purchased. Sure you might be able to read them on your current reader, but what happens when it breaks? Sure you might have already read the book.. but what if you want to read it again later?

If you have bought DRM, the only way you can ultimately save the book is by adopting the questionable legal tactic of stripping the DRM from the book.
