That depends on where you buy books. I buy mainly from Baen's web
site. They do not use copy protection on their books. They have
found that your being able to lend an ebook to a friend actually
increases the sales of the dead tree versions. They even give some
of their books away for free.

If you are interested, there is a discussion of this on the Free
Library. It seams that giving away electronic version of "older"
books actually increases sales of books that would otherwise
experience declining sales.
