My perspective on buying books with DRM
I'll make this short. DRM is really annoying, but there's one reason why I don't really mind a book having DRM. It's that most of the time I can remove the DRM, and if I can't right now, I'll eventually find a way. Once the DRM can be removed from a book, it's just as good as DRM-free (though there's still the matter of format conversions, which I can deal with slowly). Once I find that the DRM from a certain store can be removed, I may actually be more inclined to purchase from them. In the end, if it's cheap and effectively DRM-free, I'll take it. Some people have their own principles which makes them reject any DRM protected books, but I accept that my boycotting of DRM isn't going to change much in the tide of everyone else who don't care, so I might as well take advantage of the situation.
