For me, the turnoff of ebooks is that, when you buy them, you don’t own them. You merely purchased the opportunity to use them that is revocable at any time and lasts only as long as the company chooses to continue the contract and support the format.

There exist DRM-free ePub format books, but they are pretty rare, and are often just reissues of public domain material.
