Which puts you in the minority of book readers.

I can understand that. It's a simple value proposition.

But you still haven't responded to the question I've put before you at least twice now:
Why would someone pay more for the locked down DRMed eBook than the pBook?

Using the concrete example I used before: Why would someone pay $26 for the locked up eBook of Spook Country from Fictionwise when they can get the unrestricted pBook from Amazon.com for $16?
