@murraypaul, I'm not sure how txtr supports ADE DRM. Either they were able to negotiate better terms with Adobe or they are taking a big loss or they found some kind of workaround. It might be worth my reengaging with Adobe to see if anything has changed.

I didn't know that it was Adobe being an ass about licensing costs (I guess that's also why iBooks has its own drm) - I'd be very interested to find out how txtr is able to do it too!
