As many as it takes until we get it right, I suppose.
Tech_au: No one likes DRM. I doubt even the publishers actually like DRM. But if DRM actually does not impact your personal reading habits (as it sounds like it does not), then just ignore it, consider yourself lucky, and read your book. There are plenty of the rest of us to wheedle the subject to death, without adding to our number with someone who really shouldn't have to worry about it. For the record, those of us who do have DRM-related issues envy you to be free of them!
Your only issue, then, might be the restrictions DRM places on what you read your e-books on (like if you'd like an Amazon e-book, but do not own a Kindle), or if you like to move the books to multiple platforms, depending on your reading habits. If, OTOH, you do all your reading on the same device, and DRM does not prevent you from buying whatever book you want, see the previous paragraph.
