Barnes and Noble burned me too. So I agree with your purchasing decision.
Me, I've added to that. I have now amassed "my lifetime supply" of eBooks. If the companies insist on controlling what I have paid for with some kind of super-DRM in the future, then I just won't buy anymore. I don't need to.
Buying eBooks to build a collection is fun. Can get expensive, but it's fun. However, it's hardly necessary when you already own more than you could possibly read in your remaining lifetime. Super-DRM just might be my salvation, it would finally knock some sense into me so I'd quit buying more eBooks that I won't live long enough to read. Probably not the result the book sellers envision for their super-DRM, but that would be the effect on me. I've already cut way back on my buying. I only buy lesser expensive eBooks now, mostly from new authors. The big name authors and their expensive eBooks ... I get those from the library these days.
