When publishing through Amazon one of the boxes one ticks off is DRM or Not. I chose Not.

Well, besides the investment of eighty-nine to ninety-nine cents, which is the price spread on Boomerang over Sony, Kobo, Amazon, B&N and Apple.
OK, plumboz. You're now $0.89 richer. Party hardy or put a little of that aside for your retirement.

I bought it again. This time from Amazon. So far I've spent $1.88 on your book. And it's well worth it.

By the way -> Amazon Bestsellers Rank: #35,913. Out of how many millions of books? Good going plumboz.

The only way to download it was to install "Kindle For PC". Amazon can now crow about having 846,357,361,550 +1 readers.

Location - My Documents\My Kindle Content. File title - B002BWPDYS_EBOK.azw

Calibre had no problem converting it. Calibre did complain that I already had a book with the same name, Boomerang that is, not B002BWPDYS_EBOK.

Another "By the way". Smashwords should let us "Vote" for the books we REALY like by letting us buy it again. Come on, $.99 is too low for a good book. $2 is very good. And if I were familiar with an authors work $3 to $6 would be acceptable. If I REALY like you $10 would be ok too.

Sadly there is, as of now, no way to tell if a Kindle book has DRM on it or not by looking at the web page.

There is no way that I would read with "Kindle For PC". If I had to read on a pc I would use what I used to use - Mobipocket Reader.
