I wouldn't buy a Kindle for the same reasons - I'd be paying extra for features that I want not to use.

Actually you can strip DRM easily from most Amazon books. I was referring to what Amazon approves of you doing. It's clearly against their ToS and possibly illegal.
Edit: I just wanted to add that I looked up the last 5 books I bought and of the 4 they had, none were available without DRM.
