Ugh, last thing I want is ads in my books. Hopefully Amazon or someone else won't actually develop this into something.

Motivation and rationalization yes, justification no.

I doubt most people will be willing or able to strip the DRM. It may seem simple, but there are a lot of people out there who can barely distinguish a CD tray from a cup-holder. It's not like hordes of people did it for iTunes, MSN or other digital audio files.
