They are very much worth buying. I believe the first time I met Jeff was at a convention, when I asked him when the next one (which became _Sunborn_) would come out.

That "trust in us, the reading masses" is the key.
When I encounter someone who thinks DRM is a good idea to prevent piracy, I always want to ask "Why? Do you think everyone will cheerfully copy and give out the book to everyone, depriving the writer of sales, because it's what
you would do, and you think everyone else is just like
you?"
I may be an optimist, but ultimately, I think most people are willing to pay for value. The key isn't preventing piracy. It's
providing value people are willing to pay for, and making it as easy as possible for them to give you money.
Jeff is certainly providing value worth paying for.
