I voted Yes, if I could remove the DRM, but with a caveat.... if I knew how.

I recently bought an Aluratek, but am returning it and getting what I really want - a PB 360. Or maybe something else, even. And then, some time down the line, we may get something else entirely for my husband. The possibility of not being able to read what I've bought on another device later bothers me quite a bit. Until I learn how to strip DRM (which entails finding a safe place to learn about it) I will probably stick to what free books I can find. Which means no e-book buys from me.
