So, if you want to rent me the book if should be about 10% of the purchase cost of a paper book.

What about Barnes & Nobel and eReader's DRM, which has no activation servers that can go down, and the software is free and readily available?
While I think DRM is holding back eBooks (pirates know how to break it, everyone else is inconvenienced), it seems like a cop-out to say that DRM completely devalues the product.
