Provided I bought the paperback because the ebook wasn't released then I would not have a problem with it (I prefer to read on my ereader), that way the author doesn't lose out.

I myself didn't vote as DRM doesn't drive me to piracy....yet. I have not been bitten by the DRM-snake yet, so all is good my end of the woods. What does drive me to piracy is geographic restrictions. Ebooks for sale, I am able and willing to buy it, but am refused sale because of my country of origin. And who misses out? The publisher and more importantly the author misses out on my money.
