    Ebooks can be purchased as well, with a little skill (or reading a tutorial) you can make it undeletable and uneditable as well.

      You’re quite right (at least it used to be easy, I have not checked for some time how hard it is now to get rid of Apple’s and/or Amazon’s DRM… the two main DRM-locked ebook sellers), but keep in mind not everybody feels ok to not respect the rules and/or breach the contract they signed. Also there is no need to that at all with printed books.

      Why go through the trouble of purchasing them with DRM and supporting that garbage and doing all the work to make them your own?

      Piracy is infinitely superior.
