maybe a good compromise is if they offered DRM books significantly cheaper. It makes more sense because you don't really 100% "own" the book.

While in spirit that is true. We are going down a dangerous road if we accept the concept of only borrowing and never owning. We own these books. We have the right to fair use and that should be defended. The issue lies in the fact that companies do not owe us the ability to have fair use. That is the issue.
More and more we are turning our world into a virtual world. Do we want all virtual items to be considered loans. I don't think we really want that to happen.
