@ErikUden If you use Calibe e-book software to manage your e-books and install the DRM removal plug-in, then DRM is automatically removed. I don't even have to think about it.

Also my e-reader is never online, I transfer books to it using USB.

I keep paper books which have personal significance to me as an object, for example my battered first edition copy of "A Wizard of Earthsea". But I read everything on my e-reader.

Books and their authors/readers should benefit from the technology, while removing its threats, in addition to the fantastic choice of a physical book.
