I feel much the same as you on the subject of DRM, Jeff. My view: Book piracy is loathsome but probably not too detrimental to sales. Most people aren't inherently larcenous, and people who download books illegally probably wouldn't have bought them anyway. To combat piracy by alienating honest customers is a bad idea. I unfortunately allowed my Kindle books to be DRM-protected before the issue was fully on my radar, and now I regret it, because it can't be undone. But Smashwords sells them in all formats (even .mobi, for the Kindle) without DRM. I'm not sure about Apple, Sony, Kobo, Diesel, etc.
I'm going to copy this post into
your DRM thread, Jeff, so that we can continue this discussion there.
