You need to do both

I think protesting DRM is more important than protesting the price, but both are significant issues.

More importantly, however, you have to _both_ avoid purchasing any of the offending books _and_ notify the publisher as to why they have lost your business.

Some people say they do not "support" DRM-encumbered books, but they go ahead and buy them anyway. That counts as "support" in my ledger!
