Of course *Amazon* wants you to keep buying Kindle 3, Kindle 4...
The whole "never encountered a problem" with drm works only if you regard books as disposable the way magazines are. That of course is anyone's prerogative, but most people do not regard books so

Sure if your K1 breaks and needs replacing, you can purchase a K2. But any saved newspapers or Blogs will all be worthless as they do expire from Amazon and the PID in them will not work on the new K2. So really, DRM is going to eventually keep you from accessing content that you've legally paid for sometime in the future.
