That's true, the physical copy does cost some sort of money. But, you can read it anywhere or anytime, keep it on your shelf as long as you want, and/or sell it/give it away to whoever whenever.
And there's a standard: words on a page (in English, reading from left to right). Until we have standards for eBooks every little PITA whim by these DRM people will continue to retard the market.
