Unless that changes, I think all they've managed to do is make me less likely to purchase. I decided long ago, I'm not paying any money on what amounts to an invalid contract. Any contract where one party can change the rules at will and the other has no recourse is not valid, so even with the ability to remove DRM or possibly (no way to know) download an EPUB, they won't get my money.
I think you can tell on some of them. If the eBook is DRM free like Tor or Star Trek eBooks, they will be able to be downloaded.
