It's a tough issue. As much as I dislike DRM, like rcuadro above I understand that there are much more rampant piracy and "giving away" issues with electronic media so it can't be as loose as physical media.
With ebooks though, I really don't care. I just buy books I'll only read once. Anything I want to always have around I'll buy a nice hardback edition of anyway.
I care more for music (still buy cds even though I rip them and mainly listen to mp3s), won't stop buying DVDs/Blu Rays for movies when video downloads become more prominent etc. etc. I care more for those as I'll listen to albums and watch movies over and over. Where as few books I'll ever read more than once.
