Where did you come up with the idea that it was wise to pursue only one tactic in a potential engagement?

Buy DRM free where what you want is available - as with fiction (always more books to read than you can afford or have time for anyway).
For textbooks where that is not necessary and option - remove the DRM.

The two tactics are in no way mutually exclusive.
