Since 99.9% of my eBooks do not have DRM, I don't have an issue.

Of the other 0.1%, the majority of books that I read I have no desire to read again, so they again would not be an issue.

That leaves me with an extremely small number of books that I did want to read again, and which were not available except as DRM-ed books, I would of course buy them again. As I've said before, I don't regard $10 for an eBook as a "lifetime investment"; if I have to spend another $10 in 20 years time to re-buy the book, I don't regard it as any big deal. If I'd bought a paperback 20 years ago, the odds are that I would no longer have it, and would have to rebuy it anyway.

The whole DRM thing is vastly overblown as an issue, IMHO. Most books that I want to read are available without it.
