That's great, and I understand that POV. However, what people don't always consider is that one day someone else might release a device you want, or your Kindle will break, or Amazon might stop making them or something, and you won't be able to take any of those books with you. THAT is the real issue with DRM.
I do not consider myself a 'power user' as far as computers go, but if I could not use powerpoint slides, this could not replace my netbook. One of the primary teaching tools I use with my students is setting stories or songs to Powerpoint so we can all follow along together. I don't do fancy Powerpoint, but I do use it.
