They're making the same mistakes that the music companies made. It'll go the same way as music did for years, but even worse, considering how small e-books are.
I don't buy DRM'd ebooks unless I absolutely must have something in a rush (for class) or they are dirt, dirt cheap (like $.99). DRM destroys the value of anything for me. Even though it's not that hard for me to remove, being a techie of sorts, I'm not willing to support companies that engage in it. This agency price fixing is awful, too.
Vote with your dollars and give them to publishers and storefronts that deserve it.
