I suspect that DRM must put a lot of people off buying eBooks. I'm a bit of a "gadget freak" and am rarely using the same eBook reader now that I was a year ago. I would be highly dubious about buying commercial eBooks which "locked me in" to a specific device. That's why the only commercial eBooks I buy are the open-format ones from Baen. I know that whatever device I'm using next year, my RTF, HTML, etc, books are going to either work fine on it directly, or be easily converted to work on it.
