The market will decide what is "too locked down with DRM" and "costs too much". Until (if?) the market puts their collective foot down, expect both of these things to continue increasing. If the market balks, either (1) Amazon/publishers/etc will back off, or (2) eBook sales will decline significantly and the format may possibly go the way of the dinosaur.
The world will not end. This is not a must-have technology. If Amazon/publishers/etc treat it as such, they will simply hasten their own demise. That's all. Reading will not become extinct. My understanding is that eBooks are already in decline vs. paper-based books. I like eBooks fine, but could live without them.
