Except that I really DID get what I paid for.
I don't buy books until I'm ready to read them, so DRM is a non-factor in that regard. When I do buy them, I happily read them immediately with the app of where I bought them from on an Android tablet (or listen to it with a phone). I don't re-read, so there's no need for backups (or for storage until I get around to reading them). The price I pay for what I read/listen to is one that I find more than satisfactory for the one-time experience. Way cheaper than the price of a good meal for a much longer period of enjoyment. So I got exactly what I wanted, for exactly what I paid. I win.
The fact that "buying a book" used to mean something else to others in the past is of no consequence in my valuation of what I'm paying for today.
