That would be a price, not a value.

The definition I would like to use is;
Noun : value
The quality (positive or negative) that renders something desirable or valuable.

DRMed books lower the value in an ebook in a way that a copyright does not.

Which would have a greater value to you - a hardcover edition for $54
http://www.amazon.com/Watchmen-Absol.../dp/1401207138
or a Kindle version (that you can't use on any other ereader (leaving aside removing DRM)) for $14?
