I am unwilling, in general, to "buy" DRM'd books since as this case clearly shows it's not buying but renting them for an uncertain amount of time and arbitrary corporate events can take them away. I was buying from BN exactly because DRM was trivial to remove with a simple Python script. Right now, the state of the onion:

Kindle -- I can get the book on my Android tablet and strip DRM but it's a major hassle.

BN -- requires a userscript to get a download who knows when they will change things to break that script.

Kobo & most small stores I know of -- requires Windows to deDRM and I don't have that.
