Why not? When you buy ebooks you can download the PDF and even print it for yourself as backup.

That depends very much on where you buy your ebooks.

Oh. Why not offer non DRM formats to begin with because I am paying equal to or more than the paperback price of a book and not some bullshit license and shit. OP is saying he/she refuses to accept the whole renting/licensing shenanigans in ebooks. If Apple can sell you a non DRM mp3 for $.99 a pop, why the fuck does it need DRM for an eBook. ?

Your only option is to either buy a paperback or pirate and downloading on kindle and then finding a PDF and then printing it should not happen to a paying customer.

DRM is often the choice of the publisher, not the retailer. (Amazon makes it very difficult to get a DRM-free version though, even when the publisher has authorized it)
