Ah, like that... But, as you won't be buying the book in the first place... At least, personally, if I don't get a "real" copy (be it something I can hold, or at least take some room on a data carrier), I don't find it buying...

People are already complaining about DRM: what if the shop stops, I can't get a new version for a new device. But if this service stopped, you'd be left with absolutely nothing. While if the shop stopped, and you made a copy of the book, you can always try to de-DRM it.
