On the other hand, it's not really difficult to get DRM-free books, is it? I bought (admittedly all technical) ebooks straight from O'Reilly, Manning, Packtpub and PragProg and none of them use DRM. I can download them in multiple formats (pdf, epub) and use them on any device I like. The only thing that some do, is "personalise" those ebooks. And if you subscribe to their newsletters, it's not that difficult to buy those ebooks with interesting discounts.

Why the hell should it be forbidden!? 2nd hand books can still be sold and bought legally in a lot of countries. No publisher demanded money for that.
I guess people in book publishing have a lot more brains than the ones doing games/music/movie publishing.
