Lock in to what?
AFAIK the main effect of DRM is making it difficult to convert ebooks to a different format. Of course I don't use a format-locked device, I use one on which I can load a program to read whatever format I prefer (well....there's a few formats for which I've yet to find a program that works on my handheld, but if I wanted to badly enough I'm sure I could write my own, it's just usually easier to find a program to strip the DRM & convert the book).
