I suppose I would pay "more" for a non-DRM'd book, in that I won't pay for a DRM'd book at all.

However, I suspect it doesn't matter how many people would pay more for non-DRM'd books, because publishers have to pay more to put DRM on the books in the first place. They've already decided to pass along the expense of limiting access to the purchase.
