I selected yes because it is the closest correct response. I do buy ebooks with DRM, largely from the Sony store. That's because I can read the ebook on a lot of different dedicated reading devices.
What I won't do is buy a DRMed ebook that I can only read on a single device or on devices other than my e-ink dedicated reader, not even if I can strip the DRM. Consequently, I would never consider buying an ebook from Amazon.
Of course, there is another caveat: price. I am willing to buy ebooks at Sony with DRM because I can buy them at a 40% discount, at least until I use up my gift card credit (I bought $250 worth of gift cards for $150 when Target had them on sale). Once that runs out, I won't be buying there because of pricing.
If a book comes with DRM I am unwilling to pay more than $2-$3 for it; if it is both laden with DRM and from an unknown author, I am unwilling to pay more than 99 cents.
So yes is the correct answer but with lots of caveats.
