So long as I pay for it and do not re-distribute the book, I couldn't care less.

I download amazon samples to my ipod when I'm bored so I can read a chapter of books that look interesting, even the drm ones... and then if I like it I put it on my tbr list. Try the libraries or whatever if I really want to read it Right. Now. And I might buy a book every now and then with drm if I
really want to read it but personally I see it as rewarding bad behavior.
Deeply considering sending emails to authors of books I like the look of to tell them why I won't buy their infested books when I would have and I'll probably end up just not reading them. Might not help... but can't hurt.
...though some writers genuinely so seem to consider even buying fans/readers potential criminals if not outright criminals.
Why do these people bother publishing at all if their work/idea/personal interpretation of it is such a special snowflake their fans are ruining it by reading it on the wrong format/getting the wrong impression/whatever?
