Very true, which is why I said that whether I answered "yes" or "no" to the question would depend on how ubiquitous the reading software was. DRM on DVDs doesn't bother me in the slightest, for example, because (unless I buy an "out of region" DVD) I know I can play it on any DVD player, so I just can't be bothered to remove the DRM.
