It's strictly a matter of self-defense, not religion.

Like I said before, while I'm of the same opinion as you in this matter (i.e. I don't buy digital content that I can't backup and format switch), we are very much in the minority when it comes to people who buy ebooks. We are probably a more important piece of the market for the mid tier authors, but most people are totally oblivious to DRM. If they have a kindle, then they buy from Amazon. If they have a Nook, they buy from B&N. If they have an iPad, they buy from Apple. The more sophisticated might buy Amazon books on the website and then download onto their kindle app on the iPad.
