you say its "likely". Have you asked any of them? Have you explained that every ebook DRM scheme out there is circumventable anyway... so if people are going to pirate it the DRM won't stop them. Point to Bane's webscriptions and smashwords are places that sell ebooks DRM free and people still BUY them.

That all said... I don't understand your issue here. Kindle 4 PC does NOT read epub.... so perhaps it isn't the DRM but the format. Your Kindle 4 PC books need to be mobipocket formated.
