Simply put if you don't like DRM then don't buy DRM, and instead drop the publishers a letter or email stating that you didn't buy their product because it had DRM.

Personally I can live with DRM, I'd rather it wasn't there and I can make a good argument against it, but if it's a choice of a book with DRM or no book then I'll take the DRM.

Finally given the choice between paying for a book with DRM or paying more for the same book without DRM then I'd be happy with the choice.

Edit : Even though this was meant to be a short post, here's one final thought on it, that I feel is important (at least for me).

If I buy a book with DRM it's because I want to read it then and there. If I buy a book without DRM then it's because I want to own that book in my library forever. I'd buy a DRM-free Lord of the Rings or Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy for example, but since I've no inclination to read them again just now I wouldn't buy DRM-ed versions.
