First, it's a matter of principle.
Second, look at the situation the OP is in: He has books he legitimately bought and paid for, but because of DRM, he can't read them. He has to jump through all sorts of hoops to read the books he bought.
Whereas if I want to read, say, On Basilisk Station on my netbook instead of my 505, or if I get some totally different reading device a month down the road, all I have to do is load it. I don't have to say "Mother, may I?" to some authentication server somewhere, or beg a company to let me use what I bought from them, or poke at this, sign into that, authorize this other thing. I just read the books.
You find no difficulty using Sony Reader Library (they've finally made it not suck?) but what do you do when a Bad Thing happens to your 505, and you decide to replace it with a Kindle?
