See for me all of those are just symptoms of the real problem which is a company that see's it's customers as just a resource to be bled dry - it's kind of like buying a new car from a dealer and then the dealer telling you you can't drive the car on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. It's not really even about DRM removal, I can understand that authors, retailers etc want to protect their goods from being illegally distributed, but you should be able to at least store the book you've bought how you want. And this is just the thin end of the wedge, if customers to accept these changes companies like Amazon won't stop they will push for more and more control over stuff you've bought until in the end you will be paying them for goods and services that give you next to nothing in return,
