With DRMed ebooks you're at the mercy of the person controlling the DRM servers. If they go out of business*, or decide to close your account*, or stop doing business with your retailer*, or shut down their DRM servers*, you're stuck. When your current ebook readers die, you'll lose access to your ebooks.

That's why I won't buy DRMed ebooks unless the DRM can be removed.

*I can provide examples of all these things having happened already, if you insist.
