Hmm...now that makes sense. I don't think I'd want to spend $26 for a DRMed book (unless I'm certain I can remove it). However, I still say that I wouldn't mind paying $26 for a digital copy of a book. I believe in paying for the content.
It's like paying $400 for an ebook today, when we all know that in time it'll be around $100 or less. You pay to be the first to get your hands on something new. That's to be expected.

When you pay $26 for a hardback, you get to own the hardback. You can keep it, read it anywhere you wish, loan it to friends, resell it.
