Ubiquity of platform makes a difference, as Harry pointed out.

But if we're going on principle: no, I wouldn't buy *those* ebooks.
Not when there are plenty to be had without DRM and more each day.

The trend is away from treating paying customers as thieves and companies who waste time and resources fretting about "piracy" shouldn't be rewarded.

All that said, it's a moot issue. The vast majority of ebook buyers don't care and won't care until after a DRM disaster impacts them.
