True.
But imho, it very much depends on where and how you buy your books.
A few years ago, I've bought my books while at the PC.
Back then, I even had ADE installed. I downloaded my books directly when purchasing. I put them in a separate folder per purchase date and source.
I immediately, back then manually, stripped them from DRM and converted them to my 3 or 4 most common target formats.
Since I didn't modify them, it was a matter of minutes.
But then I bought my books directly on the reader. Most of them when on a trip, usually for about 3 days.
When coming back from said trip, I never take the time for private stuff.
And after a few days, already dozens of others tasks have popped up.
Admittedly, I'm almost as back with tax refunds or travel expenses and other tasks like that...
I've lost more money in travel expenses (not claiming tax refunds and such) over the years, than I'll ever spend for eBooks in a lifetime...
