I dislike DRM to begin with and try to avoid it whenever I can but with a mobile reader I at least get the benefit of being able to take plenty of reading material along without having to carry the equivalent of several bricks.
When reading exclusively at home I doubt that there are enough benefits over a paper book to convince me to buy a DRM-ed ebook. I can't read in bed or outside and I can't really do much else except sit in front of the registered machine and read it there. That's very little convenience for a relatively high price (the reduction compared to a paperback is ridiculous if one factors in the restrictions due to DRM).
Or is there something I fail to see?

Yes, that there's a lot of people who buy e-books and don't have e-reader (I know people who read at home without PDA or e-book reader). And dislike about DRM, I'm terrible afraid it's not so wide how people who are at these forums would like to think (not my case, but I know a lot of people who think the devil isn't DRM but ePub, because they've to change the format. Don't forget electronic reading didn't begin with e-book readers).
