I'd agree. Most people don't notice the DRM except for a tiny amount of hassle 'authorising' ADE devices. It's only people who like to keep/re-read their older books that will notice if they ever want to switch to a device with a different DRM scheme.
Of course, those of us who've been through several ebook stores shuttting up shop, and a couple of generations of DRM schemes, do care about DRM and won't buy DRMed books where the DRM can't be removed.
But we are, currently, a very small minority of book buyers. Although I suppose we probably buy a much larger proportion of ebooks than our numbers would suggest.
