I prefer to own the physical, and make a DRM-free digital copy for myself. Best of both worlds: I own a physical copy they cannot revoke and that I can transcode again if needed, and I can carry a digital copy that I can watch anywhere on my own terms.
Do you digitize it yourself? That seems like a lot of work, even using ocr. And then making it pretty with formatting and all the stuff to make a good epub.
For books, not really yeah.. I'll find a DRM-free copy elsewhere.
