The problem, for me, is not that I wouldn't be able to read those books; I could buy a Kindle and read them on it, if I wanted. The problem is not being able to do with my purchased ebooks what I want to do with them, i.e. adjust the formatting to my liking and make a personal backup. Buying a Kindle to read them on wouldn't solve that problem for me.
Clearly an unremovable DRM means different things to different people.
