Agreed. I don't have quite the qualms regarding DRM you do (most things I only read once so it's a tad moot), but do despise it and avoid it when possible. When it's gone I'll buy considerably more ebooks.

I was reviewing my epubs/ebooks a while ago to see which had breakable DRM (for one reason or another...). I discovered that of my 30 or so ebooks, only Steven Levy's "Hackers" wasn't DRM'd. Rather ironic, and quite a welcome discovery.

On another note, I've bought two of Charlie's books in electronic format recently... perhaps I should've waited?  ;)
