I don't share my books anymore, because too many times I either didn't get them back or they came back messed up!

About half of my ebooks have DRM, so obviously it really isn't a big deal to me. The only really big thing that influences my purchase decisions is the price.

So long as I can back up my ebooks, I'm happy. Any future purchases of ereaders I will simply make sure that it can read the formats that I have.

While I don't agree with DRM, I'm NOT going to let it stop me from getting the books that I want to read.

I also think ebook rental is idiotic, If I buy a book, it's because I want to own it, most of my books DO get reread. I very seldom rent videos, most of mine are permanant purchases.
