In this case, DRM enables censorship.

How is turning off the automatic updates (for books!!!!) crippling your ereader? If the rights holder decides they won't sell the old version any longer, and only sell a new, edited version, then there is nothing you can do about it. You don't have the right to purchase the old version, unless you find a second hand paper book. With ebooks there is no such thing as second hand. If you purchased the old version, and you want to keep it, turn off automatic updates.
P.S. it is funny you copied the misspelled headline (the article looks ok). Did you even read past the headline?
