While reviewing some low-end eBook reader hardware, the question of DRM
support arose. To the person asking the question, the issue was
apparently of vital importance. It was then that I realised that I have
never bought a DRM-encumbered eBook.
It's unlikely that I ever will. There's more in the public domain than I
could read in several lifetimes.
If my attitude was more common, what would it do to the market for new
content?
