I will always go for books that I want to read. Whether in pBook form or not.
but since getting my eink device (V2) i've started to read pretty much exclusively on it as i find it far more enjoyable to use, hold and transport than a pBook.
And since the only way to get the ebooks that are new are via DRM'ed files, I've considered (ahem, of course I wouldn't do it because it's illegal right;-) using Photoshop, a looping alt tab keyboard macro program the PrintScreen key and a batch OCR job to get books onto my device.
My overwhelming desire is to read the book and the device doesn't prevent that only DRM does which forces this question to even exist.
