Yea, if I had to use DRM for my books I'd be a lot more hesistant.  I buy them  
from Amazon, then I de-DRM them and keep a local copy of the file on my server. 
  Worst comes to worst, I can use PC software to read them if Amazon goes away  
or yanks books off the "shelves".  I find myself often reading on the computer  
anyway.  I'll be downstairs watching TV and when a show is done, I don't feel  
like another so I fire up my e-reader software and sit there reading a book on  
a 142" TV lol.  Talk about easy to see :)
